This is not OK. I promise you, the strbuf API works correctly if it is used correctly. (And if it really *were* broken, you should fix the problem or at least diagnose and document it rather than working around it.) > Instead of having packname on stack and cause stackoverflow because of MAX_PATH ~ 4KB, have it on heap. > Can have first parameter to pack-write.c:finish_tmp_packfile() as const because packname is not required to be modified. > > I apologise for my two earlier patches not being in proper format. I have finally got it working properly. Will make sure, > it does not happen again. Almost. This last set of comments should be moved to directly after the "---" line. But: please rather stick to *one* microproject and get it perfect, and leave the others to other students.
