This gets rid of the fixed-size buffer and an unchecked sprintf. That sprintf is actually OK as the only variable-sized thing put in it is an abbreviated sha1, which is bounded at 40 characters. However, the next patch will change that to something unbounded. Note that this function now returns an allocated buffer instead of a static one; however, it doesn't matter as the only caller exits immediately.
