Subject: [PATCH] sha1_file: avoid overrunning alternate object base string

From: René Scharfe <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 01 Jul 2014 20:00:01 +0200

While checking if a new alternate object database is a duplicate make
sure that old and new base paths have the same length before comparing
them with memcmp.  This avoids overrunning the buffer of the existing
entry if the new one is longer and it stops rejecting foobar/ after
foo/ was already added.
