Use imperative mode: "Replace all..."

This is a lot better than previous versions. It could be improved a
bit by more directly stating that skip_prefix() singly does what the
current code is doing in two steps. (See Tanay's submission [1] for an
example of a well-crafted commit message). However, we're probably at
the point of diminishing returns, so no need to reroll just for this.

Thanks for the reroll and for explaining the changes. More below.

In a previous review, I suggested reading Junio's response [1] to a
similar submission. Of particular interest, Junio says:

    A good rule of thumb to remember is to name things after what
    they are, not how you obtain them, how they are used or what
    they are used for/as.

The name 'buf_split' is clearly a "how you obtain them", which does
not convey much. Better would be to name the variable to reflect what
it references once assigned.

Ditto.

A shortcoming of this change is that skip_prefix() is now being called
unconditionally, even when its result won't be used (as in the first
'if' statement). The original code did the work of checking the prefix
only if the first 'if' statement evaluated to false.

Space after 'if'.
