[PATCH 46/68] remove_leading_path: use a strbuf for internal storage

From: Jeff King <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:06:41
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

This function strcpy's directly into a PATH_MAX-sized
buffer. There's only one caller, which feeds the git_dir into
it, so it's not easy to trigger in practice (even if you fed
a large $GIT_DIR through the environment or .git file, it
would have to actually exist and be accessible on the
filesystem to get to this point). We can fix it by moving to
a strbuf.
