"""
Begins the process of committing data to a Repo. Once started you can
write to the Commit with PutFile and when all the data has been
written you must finish the Commit with FinishCommit. NOTE, data is
not persisted until FinishCommit is called. A Commit object is
returned.
Params:
* repo_name: The name of the repo.
* branch: A more convenient way to build linear chains of commits.
When a commit is started with a non-empty branch the value of branch
becomes an alias for the created Commit. This enables a more intuitive
access pattern. When the commit is started on a branch the previous
head of the branch is used as the parent of the commit.
* parent: Specifies the parent Commit, upon creation the new Commit
will appear identical to the parent Commit, data can safely be added
to the new commit without affecting the contents of the parent Commit.
You may pass "" as parentCommit in which case the new Commit will have
no parent and will initially appear empty.
* description: (optional) explanation of the commit for clarity.
