[PATCH] Small correction in reading of commit headers

[PATCH] Small correction in reading of commit headers

[Alex Riesen]

Check if a line of the header has enough characters to possibly
contain the requested prefix.

Noticed by debugging git-log crash in broken repos with
missing packs. It happened to be up in backtrace.
At the moment the optimization is actually a slow down:
no line in the header is shorter than the only key this
function is ever asked for: encoding. But, in case the
function ever gets asked for something longer, the old
condition is just wrong: it does not take into account
the amount of data in the line when comparing with key.
