From 99a6a97b1bf866d7050e8afb137b4b29507f0caa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2007 20:22:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Optimize prefixcmp() Certain codepaths (notably "git log --pretty=format...") use prefixcmp() extensively, with very short prefixes. In those cases, calling strlen() is a wasteful operation, so avoid it. Initial patch by Marco Costalba.
