Split up the finish_tmp_packfile() function and use the split-up version in pack-objects.c. This change should not change any functionality, but sets up code flow for a bug fix where we'll be able to move the *.idx in-place after the *.bitmap is written.
Seems like a logical step to make, and all makes sense to me. One thought for future clean-up...

I was surprised that you did not replace the caller in write_pack_file with this (and instead open-coded the implementation). But that makes sense, since the very next commit is going to move the bitmap into place between staging and renaming the .idx. The only other caller of finish_tmp_packfile is in the bulk-checkin code. So I might suggest that we get rid of this function altogether and instead call stage_tmp_packfile() and rename_tmp_packfile_idx() directly in bulk-checkin.c:finish_bulk_checkin(). That would allow us to slim down the header, but more importantly would make it clear that something like finish_tmp_packfile() shouldn't be used blindly in case there is other work to be down between staging and remaing into place.

- idx_tmp_name = write_idx_file(NULL, written_list, nr_written, - pack_idx_opts, hash); - if (adjust_shared_perm(idx_tmp_name)) + *idx_tmp_name = (char *)write_idx_file(NULL, written_list, nr_written, + pack_idx_opts, hash);
Yuck (and unavoidable!) Thanks, Taylor
