Re: [PATCH] git.c: simplify striping extension of a file in handle_builtin()

> The handle_builtin() starts from striping of command extension if
> STRIP_EXTENSION is enabled. Actually STRIP_EXTENSION does not used
> anywhere else.
>
> This patch introduces strip_extension() helper to strip STRIP_EXTENSION
> extension from argv[0] with the strip_suffix() instead of manually
> striping.
