daemon.c: fix segfault on OS X

d0k · gitster · commit 3e8a00ae1d52 · 2009-04-29T16:50:21.000-07:00
On OS X (and maybe other unices), getaddrinfo(3) returns NULL
in the ai_canonname field if it's called with an IP address for
the hostname. We'll now use the IP address for the hostname if
ai_canonname was NULL, this also matches the behaviour on Linux.

steps to reproduce:
$ git daemon --export-all
$ git clone git://127.0.0.1/frotz
=&gt; git daemon's fork (silently) segfaults.

Remove the pointless loop while at it. There is only one iteration
because of the break; on the last line and there are no continues.
