Are there other places in this file where skip_prefix() would be more readable than starts_with()? Since skip_prefix() and starts_with() implement the same functionality with different return values, they can be interchanged easily. Other usage of starts_with() in the same file can be found with $ grep -n starts_with commit.c 1116: else if (starts_with(line, gpg_sig_header) && 1196: if (starts_with(buf, sigcheck_gpg_status[i].check + 1)) { I have a query,should I tackle a bug from the mailing lists or research about the proposal and present a rough draft?
