pretty: fix buffer over-read with %> and %<
PATCH 1/1 pretty: fix buffer over-read with %> and %<
A buffer over-read of the format string would occur with unterminated formats of the form '%>(#' and '%<(#', where '#' represents a number.
This error can be witnessed by running git log under valgrind like so:
valgrind git log -n1 --format='%<(42'
This was due to the fact that the "not found" case for strcspn() was being checked in the same way that one checks the "not found" case for strchr(), i.e. by checking for a NULL pointer return value. Instead, one must check for the end of the string since strcspn() points to the character where it finished its search (which will be a '\0' if unsuccessful).

Hope I got everything right.
