[PATCH 2/3] revision: small readability improvement for reading from stdin

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>

<38c0415ee9074276e9832bbbafdee8833cd7ddb9.1686744685.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1686744685.git.ps@pks.im>

The code that reads lines from standard input manually compares whether the read line matches "--", which is a bit awkward to read. Refactor it to instead use strcmp(3P) for a small code style improvement.
