free_commit_list() returns immediately when a NULL pointer is passed in,
so I'm not sure if this check is really necessary. I think it is a
reasonable assumption to make that free* functions work well with NULL
inputs.

Out of curiosity, since you are going with a goto tower, why not do
something like:
done_merge_bases:
free_commit_list(merge_bases);
done:
return res && is_linear_history(onto, head);
You jump to done_merge_bases after you have initialized merge_bases, and
directly to done before initializing it.
I'm not advocating for either way, just curious if there is a specific
reason to do it your way. Anyway, if you drop the if (merge_bases), then
it doesn't really matter I suppose.
