* - int *indegree_peek(struct indegree *, struct commit *);
*
* This function is similar to indegree_at(), but it will return NULL
- * until a call to indegree_at() was made for the commit.
+ * if the location to store the data associated with the given commit
+ * has not been allocated yet.
+ * Note that the location to store the data might have already been
+ * allocated even if no indegree_at() call has been made for that commit
+ * yet; in this case this function returns a pointer to a
+ * zero-initialized location.
