Refactor the commit() method.

Break up the logic into a bunch of helper methods:
 _commit_objects()
 _commit_subtrans()
 _finish_one()
 _finish_rest()
and possibly
 _commit_error()

As a result of the changes, the high-level logic of a commit fits into
28 lines inside a try/finally.  There are lots of details hidden in
the methods, but the names capture the high-level behavior of the
helpers.
