[PATCH v2 0/3] Quieter sequencer status parsing

["Phillip Wood via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

Thanks for the comments on v1. I've updated the commit message of the second
patch to try and explain why the new function is not a straight-forward copy
of the old code

If we cannot parse the oid in the sequencer todo file do not show an error
when running git status but instead report that a cherry-pick or revert is
in progress. This addresses a confusing error message reported in 
https://public-inbox.org/git/3bc58c33-4268-4e7c-bf1a-fe349b3cb037@www.fastmail.com/

These patches are based on maint

          sequencer: factor out todo command name parsing
      
          Factor out the code that parses the name of the command at the start of
     -    each line in the todo file into it's own function so that it can be used
     +    each line in the todo file into its own function so that it can be used
          in the next commit.
      
     +    As I don't want to burden other callers with having to pass in a pointer
     +    to the end of the line the test for an abbreviated command is
     +    changed. This change should not affect the behavior. Instead of testing
     +    `eol == bol + 1` the new code checks for the end of the line by testing
     +    for '\n', '\r' or '\0' following the abbreviated name. To avoid reading
     +    past the end of an empty string it also checks that there is actually a
     +    single character abbreviation before testing if it matches. This
     +    prevents it from matching '\0' as the abbreviated name and then trying
     +    to read another character.
