Use the test_commit and test_path_is_missing
functions from the test library.

Also make sure that a merge which fails due to
pre-merge checks aborts properly and does not
leave MERGE_HEAD behind.

The "will not overwrite removed file" test is an
exception to this. It notices the untracked file
at a stage where the merge is already well under
way. Therefore we cannot abort the merge without
major restructuring. See the following thread for
more details.

Thanks. This new version incorporates all of your suggestions.
