Subject: [PATCH] pretty: use prefixcmp instead of memcmp on NUL-terminated strings

From: René Scharfe <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2013 17:34:56 +0100

This conversion avoids the need for magic string length numbers in the
code.  And unlike memcmp(), prefixcmp() is careful to not run over the
end of a string.
