The builtin-apply part:
[1/6] New strbuf APIs: splice and attach.
[2/6] Rewrite convert_to_{git,working_tree} to use strbuf's.
[3/6] Now that cache.h needs strbuf.h, remove useless includes.
[4/6] builtin-apply: use strbuf's instead of buffer_desc's.
And the two somehow more independant patches (need 1/6 still):
[5/6] Refactor replace_encoding_header.
[6/6] Remove preemptive allocations.
Quite nice. Thanks, will queue.
