Push pptr down into the FROM_MERGE branch of the if/else statement, where it's actually used, and call commit_list_append() for appending elements instead of playing tricks with commit_list_insert(). Call copy_commit_list() in the amend branch instead of open-coding it. Don't bother setting pptr in the final branch as it's not used thereafter.
