[PATCH 0/5] use starts_with() and ends_with()

This is a new patch series along the lines Junio suggested in this thread:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/238054/

I send it now because I saw a 1.8.5 tag.

The patches in this series can be related to what Junio suggested this way:

 * A set of clean-up patches to normalize oddball usages of existing
   functions (e.g. normalize 'prefixcmp(a,b) != 0' in some file(s)
   to 'prefixcmp(a,b)');

-> Patches 1/5 and 2/5 are such kind of cleanups.

 * A single patch to introduce the new function(s), to be applied on
   top of 1.8.5;

-> Patch 3/5 does that.

 * A large patch to convert all uses of prefixcmp to starts_with and
   suffixcmp to ends_with in the 1.8.5 codebase;

-> Patch 4/5 does that.

 * A patch for each topic in flight to convert newly introduced
   prefixcmp/suffixcmp to starts_with/ends_with, to be applied after
   the topic graduates to 'master' after 1.8.5; and then finally

-> I didn't start to work on that yet. I hope that I will only need
   to take care of what is going on in 'next'.

 * A separate patch to remove prefixcmp and suffixcmp, to be applied
   after _all_ in-flight topic has graduated to 'master'.

-> Patch 5/5 does that.

Christian Couder (5):
  environment: normalize use of prefixcmp() by removing " != 0"
  builtin/remote: remove postfixcmp() and use suffixcmp() instead
  strbuf: introduce starts_with() and ends_with()
  Replace {pre,suf}fixcmp() with {starts,ends}_with()
  strbuf: remove prefixcmp() and suffixcmp()
