Nah, I think you just misspelt hashcpy() as hashcmp(). The original wanted to get the binary representation of the hex in old_sha1 when it continued, and you wanted to delay the touching of old_sha1 until we make sure that the input is valid 40-hex, so something like this is what Gabriel wants to do (which I agree with), isn't it?
