This is usually true, when dateptr contains actual numbers to parse. But with a line like: committer name \n with just whitespace, and no numbers, parse_timestamp() will consume that newline as part of the leading whitespace, and we may walk past our "tail" pointer (which itself is set from the "size" parameter passed in to parse_commit_buffer()). In practice this can't cause us to walk off the end of an array, because we always add an extra NUL byte to the end of objects we load from disk (as a defense against exactly this kind of bug). However, you can see the behavior in action when "committer" is the final header (which it usually is, unless there's an encoding) and the subject line can be parsed as an integer. We walk right past the newline on the committer line, as well as the "\n\n" separator, and mistake the subject for the timestamp. The new test demonstrates such a case. I also added a test to check this case against the pretty-print formatter, which uses split_ident_line(). It's not subject to the same bug, because it insists that there be one or more digits in the timestamp.
