[PATCH 1/6] http: simplify update_url_from_redirect

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Date
Dec 1, 2016, 09:03 UTC
Message-ID
<20161201090351.4sy4nwxjhbyvacb6@sigill.intra.peff.net>
In-Reply-To
<20161201090336.xjbb47bublfcpglo@sigill.intra.peff.net>

This function looks for a common tail between what we asked for and where we were redirected to, but it open-codes the comparison. We can avoid some confusing subtractions by using strip_suffix_mem().
