Instead of open-coding the function pop_commit() just call it.  This
makes the intent clearer and reduces code size.

While I appreciate this kind of simplification very much, I also
hate to review this kind of simplification at the same time, as it
is very easy to make and miss simple mistakes.

Yeah, it's tempting to doze off after a few similar cases.

Let me try to go through it very carefully.

OK, I would have called it "commit" not "cmit", but this is
trivially equivalent to the original.

This is just to keep the line shorter than 80 characters, and it's not 
the first "cmit" in the tree..

Interesting.  I viewed the result of applying this patch with "git
show -U32" to make sure that this initialization of remotes was
unnecessary.

With "git show -W" you don't need any magic number. ;)

Thanks for reviewing!
