Antoine Pelisse [off-list ref] writes:
Some buffers created with PATH_MAX length are not checked when being written, and can overflow if PATH_MAX is not big enough to hold the path.
Perhaps it is time to update all of them to use strbuf? The callers
of prefix_filename() aren't that many, and all of them are prepared
to stash the returned value away when they keep it longer term, so
they would not notice if we used "static struct strbuf path" and
gave back "path.buf" (without strbuf_detach() on it). The buffer
used in clear_ce_flags() and passed to clear_ce_flags_{1,dir} are
not seen outside the callchain, and can safely become strbuf, I
think.

I do not think this is needed, and will reject a valid input that used to be accepted (e.g. arg is absolute so pfx does not matter).
