This seems overly complicated. How about this instead?

Subject: [PATCH] Add strchrnul()

As suggested by Pierre Habouzit, add strchrnul().  It's a useful GNU
extension and can simplify string parser code.  There are several
places in git that can be converted to strchrnul(); as a trivial
example, this patch introduces its usage to builtin-fetch--tool.c.

strchrnul() was introduced in glibc in April 1999 and included in
glibc-2.1. Checking for that version means the majority of all git
users would get to use the optimized version in glibc. Of the
remaining few some might get to use a slightly slower version
than necessary but probably not slower than what we have today.

I'm fairly much against forcing people to know what library
functions they have in order to get software to compile
properly. This is, imo, a neater solution, and also inlines
the function as suggested by Dscho.
