[PATCH 11/16] daemon: use skip_prefix to avoid magic numbers

From: Jeff King <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:01:41
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Like earlier cases, we can use skip_prefix to avoid magic
numbers that must match the length of starts_with prefixes.
However, the numbers are a little more complicated here, as
we keep parsing past the prefix. We can solve it by keeping
a running pointer as we parse; its final value is the
location we want.
