Naïvely, I would have expected the condition of branch_base being
null to mean "the caller doesn't have branch base specified (like
parsing --onto), so we would need to compute one" and this
"branch_base is null, so leave without doing anything" looked
confusing at first.
After computing options.onto_name (given either with --onto or
falling back to .upstream_name), we make sure branch_base is
correctly filled, either from an explicit A...B notation or a single
committish object name given and converted with a call to
fill_branch_base(). And fill_branch_base() uses null object name as
a signal that it punted due to multiple merge bases.

So it is doing the same thing as the original, but unlike the
original, it is not immediately obvious why "goto done" is the right
thing to do here. Perhaps it deserves a comment, e.g.
if (is_null_oid(branch_base))
goto done; /* fill_branch_base() already checked and punted */
or something.
Thanks.
