pickaxe -S: slightly optimize contains()

When the "log -S<pat>" switch counts occurrences of <pat> on the pre-image and post-image of a change. As soon as we know we had e.g. 1 before and 2 now we can stop, we don't need to keep counting past 2. With this change a diff between A and B may have different performance characteristics than between B and A. That's OK in this case, since we'll emit the same output, and the effect is to make one of them better. I'm picking a check of "one" first on the assumption that it's a more common case to have files grow over time than not.
