[PATCH v7 32/38] Extract a function commit_lock_file_to()

[Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>]

commit_locked_index(), when writing to an alternate index file,
duplicates (poorly) the code in commit_lock_file(). And anyway, it
shouldn't have to know so much about the internal workings of lockfile
objects. So extract a new function commit_lock_file_to() that does the
work common to the two functions, and call it from both
commit_lock_file() and commit_locked_index().
