Indeed there is a better way. The Commit and similar objects represent the
early incarnations of JGit. The way forward for reading is using the revision
walker. We still need Commit for creating commits, but I don't think we should
extend functionality much there. The reason we have not deprecated Commit
yet is that we still have to use it since there is no alternative yet.
