7199203937 (object_array: add and use `object_array_pop()`, 2017-09-23)
noted that the pattern `object = array.objects[--array.nr].item` could
be abstracted as `object = object_array_pop(&array)`.

Unfortunately, one of the conversions was horribly wrong. Between
grabbing the last object (i.e., peeking at it) and decreasing the object
count, the original code would sometimes return early. The updated code
on the other hand, will always pop the last element, then maybe do the
early return without doing anything with the object.

The end result is that merge commits where all the parents have still
not been exported will simply be dropped, meaning that they will be
completely missing from the exported data.

Re-add a commit when it is not yet time to handle it. An alternative
that was considered was to peek-then-pop. That carries some risk with it
since the peeking and poping need to act on the same object, in a
concerted fashion.

Add a test that would have caught this.

This v3 is similar in spirit to v1/v2, but with a reworked test and a
different fix approach, both based on Dscho's suggestions.

Ok.

That's a given! Again, thanks for really helpful suggestions.
