Ensure that commits don't fail if committing content that already exists Making a commit that results in a blob that already exists in the ODB (i.e. committing something, then making a revert commit) will result in us trying to p_rename -> MoveFileExW a temp file into the existing ODB entry. Despite the MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING flag is passed in, Win32 does not care and fails it with STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. To fix this, we p_unlink the ODB entry before attempting to rename it. This call will typically fail, but we don't care, we'll let the p_rename fail if the file actually does exist and we couldn't delete it for some reason (ACLs, etc).
