In his review, Tanay already mentioned indicating a resubmission via
[PATCH vN]. Additionally, specify the module or function being
modified, followed by a colon and space. On this project, it is
customary to forego capitalization in the subject (and only the
subject). So, you might write:
Subject: [PATCH v2] fsck_commit: replace memcmp() by skip_prefix()

Good.

Tanay mentioned this already: Below the "---" line under your sign-off
is where you should, as a courtesy to reviewers, explain what changed
since the previous attempt. Also, provide a link to the previous
version, like this [1].

The name 'next_parent' doesn't seem correct. After invoking
skip_prefix(), this variable will point at the hex representation of
the parent's SHA1, so a better name might be 'parent_id'.

These casts are ugly. It should be possible to get rid of all of them.
Hint: Does this function modify the memory referenced by 'buffer'?
(The answer is very slightly involved, though not difficult. A proper
fix would involve turning this submission into a 2-patch series: one a
preparatory patch, and the other this patch without the casts.)

On this project, it is customary to say !buffer. Ditto for the
remaining instances.

Likewise, on this project, it is customary to omit the '!= NULL'.

Other than the minor points mentioned above, the patch looks good. Thanks.
