[PATCH 0/3] Rename commit list functions to conform to coding guidelines

[Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>]

Hi,

I've been working with commit lists quite often recently, and every
single time I get bitten by the fact that a subset of its functions do
not conform to our coding guidelines. While most of the functions start
with `commit_list_*()`, three functions don't. This patch series fixes
this issue and renames the remaining three functions so that all of them
start with `commit_list_*()`.

Note that I'm adding compatibility wrappers for the old prototypes to
ease the transition and not make life hard for any in-flight patch
series. I've also dropped all changes that lead to conflicts with
"seen".

This series is built on top of 8745eae506 (The 17th batch, 2026-01-11).

Thanks!

Patrick
