Johannes Schindelin d07d09ee43 diff: handle NULL return from repo_get_commit_tree() ...

The `repo_get_commit_tree()` function can return NULL when a commit's
tree object is not available (e.g., the commit was parsed but its
maybe_tree field is unset and the commit is not in the commit-graph). In
cmd_diff(), the return value is immediately dereferenced via ->object
without a NULL check, which would crash if the tree cannot be loaded.

Add an explicit NULL check and die with a descriptive message.
