Re: [PATCH 14/16] fetch-pack: refactor parsing in get_ack

There are several uses of the magic number "line+45" when
parsing ACK lines from the server, and it's rather unclear
why 45 is the correct number. We can make this more clear by
keeping a running pointer as we parse, using skip_prefix to
jump past the first "ACK ", then adding 40 to jump past
get_sha1_hex (which is still magical, but hopefully 40 is
less magical to readers of git code).

Note that this actually puts us at line+44. The original
required some character between the sha1 and further ACK
flags (it is supposed to be a space, but we never enforced
that). We start our search for flags at line+44, which
meanas we are slightly more liberal than the old code.
