Thanks, Mark.

I've adjusted the tests/mixed script so that it now passes with
your patch.  To do that, I commented out the test that ran this:

    (echo x;echo y|gzip)|gzip -cdf|wc -c

Even with your patch, that still prints 24.
Should it print 4, like this variant does?

    (echo x|gzip;echo y)|gzip -cdf|wc -c

I've added a log message to your patch and will push
once you confirm it's ok.  Once pushed, we cannot change it.

+  gzip -cdf now properly handles input consisting of gzip'd data followed
+  by uncompressed data.  Before it would output raw compressed input, too.
+  For example, now "(printf x|gzip; echo y)|gzip -dcf" prints "xy\n",
+  while before it would print "x<compressed data>y\n".

 * Noteworthy changes in release 1.4 (2010-01-20) [stable]

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] gzip -cdf now handles concatenation of gzip'd and 
uncompressed data

* util.c (copy): Change semantics so as to honor a decremented inptr.
* gzip.c (get_method): When needed (-cdf), decrement inptr rather
than clearing it -- and output the first magic byte.
