[PATCH v2 1/6] revision: drop useless string offset when parsing "--pretty"

Once upon a time, we parsed pretty options by looking for "--pretty" at the start of the string, and then feeding the rest (including an "=") to get_commit_format. Later, commit 48ded91 (log --pretty: do not accept bogus "--prettyshort", 2008-05-25) split this into a separate check for "--pretty" versus "--pretty=".

However, when parsing "--pretty", we still passed "arg+8" to get_commit_format. This is useless, since it will always point to the NUL terminator at the end of the string. We can simply pass NULL instead; both parameters are treated the same by get_commit_format.
