So for this case, something like the patch below.

Incidentally, there's an off-by-one in the original loop of
stdin_diff_commit that reads past the end of the trailing NUL for the
final sha1 on the line. The problem is the:

  pos += GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ + 1;

which assumes we're slurping up the trailing space. This works in
practice because the caller will only permit a string which had a
newline (which it converted into a NUL).

I suspect that function could be more aggressive about complaining about
nonsense on the line, rather than silently ignoring it.

I'd come to basically the same patch, but I did pick up a few niceties
from your patch, like avoiding the off-by-one issue you mentioned above.
Can I place your sign-off on the resulting change?
