[PATCH 4/5] pathspec: move prefix check out of the inner loop

[Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com>]

The prefix check is not related the check of pathspec magic; also there
is no code that is relevant after we'd break the loop on a match for
"prefix:". So move the check before the loop and shortcircuit the outer
loop.
