[PATCH v3 1/2] builtin/remote: remove postfixcmp() and use suffixcmp() instead

From

<20131105210237.21525.57546.chriscool@tuxfamily.org>

Commit 8cc5b290 (git merge -X<option>, 25 Nov 2009) introduced suffixcmp() with nearly the same implementation as postfixcmp() that already existed since commit 211c8968 (Make git-remote a builtin, 29 Feb 2008).

The only difference between the two implementations is that, when the string is smaller than the suffix, one implementation returns 1 while the other one returns -1.

But, as postfixcmp() is only used to compare for equality, the distinction does not matter and does not affect the correctness of this patch.

As postfixcmp() has always been static in builtin/remote.c and is used nowhere else, it makes more sense to remove it and use suffixcmp() instead in builtin/remote.c, rather than to remove suffixcmp().

Hi everyone,

Here is another version of the series. The first patch did not change. The second patch has been changed according to the latest suggestions by Max Horn and Junio.

Thanks, Christian.
