Nicely done.

Observation: even if the command did not fail, if it returned an
empty string, then you would reject that result and loop on here.
This is different from the original scripted version, but it should
be OK.

Observation: and if you do not find any non-empty-string answer, you
return NULL.

So, while it is not wrong per-se, I do not think we need to check
revname[0] here. The helper never returns a non-NULL pointer that
points at an empty string, right?
On the other hand, if we dropped the "&& sb.len" check in the helper
function to be more faithful to the original, then we must check
revname[0] for an empty string.
