strbuf.h: drop boilerplate descriptions of strbuf_split_*
The description of strbuf_split_buf says most of what needs to be said for all of the split variants that take strings, raw memory, etc. We have a boilerplate comment above each that points to the first. This boilerplate ends up making it harder to read, because it spaces out the functions, which could otherwise be read as a group. Let's drop the boilerplate completely, and mention the variants in the top comment. This is perhaps slightly worse for a hypothetical system which pulls the documentation for each function out of the comment immediately preceding it. But such a system does not yet exist, and anyway, the end result of extracting the boilerplate comments would not lead to a very easy-to-read result. We would do better in the long run to teach the extraction system about groups of related functions. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
