git object format: make sure parenthood isn't lost when saving

This makes subsurface remember the git source commit of the dive data.

If you save to an existing branch, subsurface will now complain and
refuse to save if you try to save if the existing branch is not related
to the original source.  That would destroy the history of the dive
data, which in turn would make it impossible to do sane merging of the
data.

If you save to a new branch, it will see if the previous parent commit
is known in the repository you are saving to, and will save parenthood
information if so.  Otherwise it will save it as a new parentless commit
("root commit" in git parlance).
