This function originated in builtin/merge.c. It was moved to merge.c in
commit db699a8a1f (Move try_merge_command and checkout_fast_forward to
libgit.a, 2012-10-26), but was used from sequencer.c even before that.
If a problem occurs, the function returns without rolling back the
lockfile. Teach it to do so.
