Makes sense.

Rather than using the magic constant "3", it would probably make sense to
declare `skip_lineno` outside of the `if` construct, and use
`skip_prefix(line.buf, "@@ ", &skip_lineno)` instead of
`starts_with(...)`.

We *will*, however, want to have a safeguard against `strstr()` not
finding anything. Maybe re-use the `p` variable that we already have, and
do this instead:

		} else if (skip_prefix(line.buf, "@@ ", &p) &&
			   (p = strstr(p, "@@"))) {

> +			strbuf_remove(&line, 0, skip_lineno - line.buf);
> +			strbuf_addch(&buf, ' ');

Shorter:

			strbuf_splice(&line, 0, p - line.buf, " ", 1);

(assuming that you accept my suggestion to use `p` instead of
`skip_lineno`...)

Thanks,
Dscho
