The local variable sha1_ptr in the build_fake_ancestor() function used to either point at the null_sha1[] (if the ancestor did not have the path) or at sha1[] (if we read the object name into the local array), but 7a98869 (apply: get rid of --index-info in favor of --build-fake-ancestor, 2007-09-17) made the "missing in the ancestor" case unnecessary, hence sha1_ptr, when used, always points at the local array. Get rid of the unneeded variable, and restructure the if/else cascade a bit to make it easier to read. There should be no behaviour change.
