When faking a working tree commit, we read in lines from MERGE_HEAD into a strbuf. Because the strbuf is NUL-terminated and get_oid_hex will fail if it unexpectedly encounters a NUL, the check for the length of the line is unnecessary. There is no optimization benefit from this case, either, since on failure we call die. Remove this check, since it is no longer needed.
