There is no excuse for not using xrealloc() in git.c,
ls-files.c, and sha1_file.c.

The diff-delta.c code wants to be independent from the rest of
git code, so it probably should check the returned value itself.

Historically to a certain degree daemon.c also wanted to be
independent from the rest of git, but I suspect it still is the
case (it uses small pieces from packet interface but that is
about it).
