Add a space after the colon. Add a colon after fsck_commit().

Wrap lines to 65-70 characters. Capitalize start of sentence. You
don't need to spell out 'const char*'. It's okay to say that you're
just making it 'const'.

Conceptually, this is a distinct change, so it deserves its own patch.
Thus, your submission should become a two-patch series. See
documentation for "git format-patch" and "git send-email" to learn how
to create a multi-part patch series.

But, is _this_ cast really needed? In my earlier review, I asked if
you could drop the cast you had in that attempt by making 'buffer'
const. I also mentioned that you might have to fix some small fallout
from making it const. That was a hint that you should dig a bit
deeper. It is possible to eliminate the casts. See if you can figure
out how.

Capitalize start of sentence. You might want to explain a bit that
skip_prefix() conveys more clearly than memcmp() that the code is
checking the string for a prefix. An added benefit is that it allows
you to eliminate some magic numbers.

Unfortunately, this patch is quite broken since it is based upon your
previous patch rather than upon a clean copy of fsck.c. I'll abort the
review at this point since this and your previous attempt are
intermingled, and the patch does not provide a clear picture of how
the original fsck.c gets changed.
