This avoids an ugly strcat into a fixed-size buffer. It's
not wrong (the buffer is plenty large enough for an IPv6
address plus some minor formatting), but it takes some
effort to verify that.
Unfortunately we are still stuck with some fixed-size
buffers to hold the output of inet_ntop. But at least we now
pass very easy-to-verify parameters, rather than doing a
manual computation to account for other data in the buffer.
As a side effect, this also fixes the case where we might
pass an uninitialized portbuf buffer through the
environment. This probably couldn't happen in practice, as
it would mean that addr->sa_family was neither AF_INET nor
AF_INET6 (and that is all we are listening on).

We use two PATH_MAX-sized buffers to represent the repo

care to check the lengths, but the logic is rather hard to
follow, as we use several magic numbers (e.g., "PATH_MAX -
10"). And in fact you _can_ overflow the buffer if you have
a ".git" file with an extremely long path in it.
By switching to strbufs, these problems all go away. We do,
however, retain the check that the initial input we get is
no larger than PATH_MAX. This function is an entry point for
untrusted repo names from the network, and it's a good idea

But second, we can avoid splitting the parsing and actions

skip any intermediate whitespace, and then act on

2. Replace fgets into a fixed-size buffer with a strbuf,

3. Replace manual whitespace handling with strbuf_trim

of a call to strcpy, and the confusing reuse of the "p"

4. We currently build up the refspecs over multiple strbuf

conditionals, let's just default "frag" to "master".
This lets us format the refspecs with a single xstrfmt.

It communicates to readers what our expectation is, and it

The one exception here is the mtime, which comes from the

this fits into the 12-byte value allocated in the header.
But since git can handle 64-bit times, if I claim to be a

This case is also best as an xsnprintf. It should never come

without any check whether we are overflowing the buffer.
This is OK if PATH_MAX is a true representation of the
maximum path on the system, because any path here will have
already been vetted by the alternates subsystem. But that is
not true on every system, so we should be more careful.

The sha1_to_hex and find_unique_abbrev functions always
write into reusable static buffers. There are a few problems
with this:
- future calls overwrite our result. This is especially
annoying with find_unique_abbrev, which does not have a
ring of buffers, so you cannot even printf() a result
that has two abbreviated sha1s.
- if you want to put the result into another buffer, we
often strcpy, which looks suspicious when auditing for
overflows.
This patch introduces sha1_to_hex_r and find_unique_abbrev_r,
which write into a user-provided buffer. Of course this is
just punting on the overflow-auditing, as the buffer
obviously needs to be GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ + 1 bytes. But it is
much easier to audit, since that is a well-known size.
We retain the non-reentrant forms, which just become thin
wrappers around the reentrant ones. This patch also adds a
strbuf variant of find_unique_abbrev, which will be handy in
later patches.

The strbuf_complete_line function makes sure that a buffer
ends in a newline. But we may want to do this for any
character (e.g., "/" on the end of a path). Let's factor out
a generic version, and keep strbuf_complete_line as a thin
wrapper.

If you have a function that uses git_path a lot, but would
prefer to avoid the static buffers, it's useful to keep a
single scratch buffer locally and reuse it for each call.
You used to be able to do this with git_snpath:
char buf[PATH_MAX];
foo(git_snpath(buf, sizeof(buf), "foo"));
bar(git_snpath(buf, sizeof(buf), "bar"));
but since 1a83c24, git_snpath has been replaced with
strbuf_git_path. This is good, because it removes the
arbitrary PATH_MAX limit. But using strbuf_git_path is more
awkward for two reasons:
1. It adds to the buffer, rather than replacing it. This
is consistent with other strbuf functions, but makes
reuse of a single buffer more tedious.
2. It doesn't return the buffer, so you can't format
as part of a function's arguments.
The new git_path_buf solves both of these, so you can use it
like:
struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT;
foo(git_path_buf(&buf, "foo"));
bar(git_path_buf(&buf, "bar"));
strbuf_release(&buf);

There are a number of places in the code where we call
sprintf(), with the assumption that the output will fit into
the buffer. In many cases this is true (e.g., formatting a
number into a large buffer), but it is hard to tell
immediately from looking at the code. It would be nice if we
had some run-time check to make sure that our assumption is
correct (and to communicate to readers of the code that we
are not blindly calling sprintf, but have actually thought
about this case).
This patch introduces xsnprintf, which behaves just like
snprintf, except that it dies whenever the output is
truncated. This acts as a sort of assert() for these cases,
which can help find places where the assumption is violated
(as opposed to truncating and proceeding, which may just
silently give a wrong answer).
