It communicates to readers what our expectation is, and it
provides a run-time check that we are not overflowing the

The one exception here is the mtime, which comes from the
epoch time of the commit we are archiving. For sane values,
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
visitor from the year 10,000 AD, I can overflow the buffer.
This turns out to be harmless, as we simply overflow into
the chksum field, which is then overwritten.
This case is also best as an xsnprintf. It should never come
up, short of extremely malformed dates, and in that case we
are probably better off dying than silently truncating the
date value (and we cannot expand the size of the buffer,
since it is dictated by the ustar format). Our friends in

patch here
Because the reimplementation reused append_signoff() helper that is
used by other codepaths, which is unaware that people intermix such
comments with their sign-offs in the trailer block, such a message
was judged to end with a non-trailer, resulting in an extra blank
line before adding a new sign-off.
The original scripted version of "git am" used a lot looser
definition, i.e. "if and only if there is no line that begins with
Signed-off-by:, add a blank line before adding a new sign-off". For
the upcoming release, stop using the append_signoff() in "git am"
and reimplement the looser definition used by the scripted version
to use only in "git am" to fix this regression in "am" while
avoiding new regressions to other users of append_signoff().
In the longer term, we should look into loosening append_signoff()
so that other codepaths that add a new sign-off behave the same way
as "git am -s", but that is a task for post-release.

show-branch: use a strbuf for reflog descriptions
When we show "branch@{0}", we format into a fixed-size
buffer using sprintf. This can overflow if you have long
branch names. We can fix it by using a temporary strbuf.

read_info_alternates: handle paths larger than PATH_MAX
This function assumes that the relative_base path passed
into it is no larger than PATH_MAX, and writes into a
fixed-size buffer. However, this path may not have actually
come from the filesystem; for example, add_submodule_odb
generates a path using a strbuf and passes it in. This is
hard to trigger in practice, though, because the long
submodule directory would have to exist on disk before we
would try to open its info/alternates file.
We can easily avoid the bug, though, by simply creating the
filename on the heap.

notes: use a strbuf in add_non_note
When we are loading a notes tree into our internal hash
table, we also collect any files that are clearly non-notes.
We format the name of the file into a PATH_MAX buffer, but
unlike true notes (which cannot be larger than a fanned-out
sha1 hash), these tree entries can be arbitrarily long,
overflowing our buffer.
We can fix this by switching to a strbuf. It doesn't even
cost us an extra allocation, as we can simply hand ownership
of the buffer over to the non-note struct.
This is of moderate security interest, as you might fetch
notes trees from an untrusted remote. However, we do not do
so by default, so you would have to manually fetch into the
notes namespace.

verify_absent: allow filenames longer than PATH_MAX
When unpack-trees wants to know whether a path will
overwrite anything in the working tree, we use lstat() to
see if there is anything there. But if we are going to write
"foo/bar", we can't just lstat("foo/bar"); we need to look
for leading prefixes (e.g., "foo"). So we use the lstat cache
to find the length of the leading prefix, and copy the
filename up to that length into a temporary buffer (since
the original name is const, we cannot just stick a NUL in
it).
The copy we make goes into a PATH_MAX-sized buffer, which
will overflow if the prefix is longer than PATH_MAX. How
this happens is a little tricky, since in theory PATH_MAX is
the biggest path we will have read from the filesystem. But
this can happen if:
- the compiled-in PATH_MAX does not accurately reflect
what the filesystem is capable of
- the leading prefix is not _quite_ what is on disk; it
contains the next element from the name we are checking.
So if we want to write "aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd" and "aaa/bbb"
exists, the prefix of interest is "aaa/bbb/ccc". If
"aaa/bbb" approaches PATH_MAX, then "ccc" can overflow
it.
So this can be triggered, but it's hard to do. In
particular, you cannot just "git clone" a bogus repo. The
verify_absent checks happen before unpack-trees writes
anything to the filesystem, so there are never any leading
prefixes during the initial checkout, and the bug doesn't
trigger. And by definition, these files are larger than
PATH_MAX, so writing them will fail, and clone will
complain (though it may write a partial path, which will
cause a subsequent "git checkout" to hit the bug).
We can fix it by creating the temporary path on the heap.
The extra malloc overhead is not important, as we are
already making at least one stat() call (and probably more
for the prefix discovery).
