Read the microproject text carefully and _fully_. It provides the clue
you need to understand the problem.

    Rewrite bulk-checkin.c:finish_bulk_checkin() to use a strbuf for
    handling packname, and explain why this is useful. Also check if
    the first argument of pack-write.c:finish_tmp_packfile() can be
    made const.

If, after making a closer examination of the mentioned functions, the
problem still eludes you, ask here again.
