diff: prevent pprint_rename from underrunning input
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The logic described in d020e27 (diff: Fix rename pretty-print when
suffix and prefix overlap, 2013-02-23) is wrong: The proof in the
comment is valid only if both strings are the same length.  *One* of
old/new can reach a-1 (b-1, resp.) if 'a' is a suffix of 'b' (or vice
versa).

Since the intent was to let the loop run down to the '/' at the end of
the common prefix, fix it by making that distinction explicit: if
there is no prefix, allow no underrun.
