[PATCH 02/16] vcs-svn: make buffer_skip_bytes return length read

From: David Barr <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:50:48
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: Jonathan Nieder <redacted>

Currently there is no way to detect when input ended if it ended
early during buffer_skip_bytes.  Tell the calling program how many
bytes were actually skipped for easier debugging.

Existing callers will still ignore early EOF.
