@param tree An instance of a git_tree object that will be used as the tree for the commit. This tree object must also be owned by the given repo.

@param parent_count Number of parents for this commit

@param parents Array of parent_count pointers to git_commit objects that will be used as the parents for this commit. This array may be null if parent_count is 0 (root commit). All the given commits must be owned by the repo.
