This looks somewhat roundabout and illogical. The original was bad
because it blindly assumed reflgo->osha1 refers to a commit without
making sure that assumption holds. Calling lookup_commit() blindly
is not much better, even though you are helped that the function
happens not to barf if the given object is not a commit.
Also this changes semantics, no? Trace the original flow and think
what happens, when we see a commit object that cannot be parsed in
parse_commit_buffer(). parse_object() calls parse_object_buffer()
which in turn calls parse_commit_buffer() and the entire callchain
returns NULL. commit_info->commit will become NULL in such a case.
With your code, lookup_commit() will store a non NULL in
commit_info->commit, and parse_commit() calls parse_commit_buffer()
and that would fail, so you clear commit->parents to NULL but fail
to set commit_info->commit to NULL.
Why not keep the parse_object() as-is and make sure we error out
unless the result is a commit with a more explicit check, perhaps
like this, instead?

This will negatively affect the ongoing effort to abstract out the
on-disk implementation of the reflog. In some future installation
of Git, the reflog may not even be in .git/logs/refs/whatever file.
Use a non-branch ref, so that you can store any valid object not
just commits, and use a Git command (e.g. "git update-ref" or "git
tag") instead of the raw filesystem access to update it, perhaps
like this?
git tag --create-reflog test-logs HEAD^ &&
git tag -f test-logs HEAD^{tree} &&
git tag -f test-logs HEAD &&
git reflog test-logs
