Re: [PATCH v2] commit.c: use the generic "sha1_pos" function for lookup

Refactor binary search in "commit_graft_pos" function: use
generic "sha1_pos" function.

Looks trivially correct; thanks.

Looking at this patch makes me wonder why we have sha1_pos() and
sha1_entry_pos() helper functions, though.  It feels as if the
former could be written in terms of the latter, but there may be
some performance and correctness downsides if we did so:

 - rewriting sha1_entry_pos() in terms of sha1_pos() would add the
   cost of callback to obtain the keys;

 - sha1_entry_pos() picks the middle location conservatively to
   avoid overshooting penalty, which sha1_pos() does not do;

 - sha1_entry_pos() has been updated recently to tolerate
   duplicates.
