Re: [PATCH 11/67] trace: use strbuf for quote_crnl output

When we output GIT_TRACE_SETUP paths, we quote any
meta-characters. But our buffer to hold the result is only
PATH_MAX bytes, and we could double the size of the input
path (if every character needs quoted). We could use a
s/quoted/to be &/ ...or... s/quoted/quoting/
quoted hunk ↗ jump to hunk
2*PATH_MAX buffer, if we assume the input will never be more
than PATH_MAX. But it's easier still to just switch to a
strbuf and not worry about whether the input can exceed
PATH_MAX or not.

It's a little sad that this leaves a variable named 'p2' when there is
no corresponding 'p1'. Would this deserve a cleanup patch which
renames 'p2' to 'p' or do we not care enough?
