Command `git blame --date relative` aligns the date field with a fixed-width (defined by blame_date_width), and if time_str is shorter than that, it adds spaces for padding. But there are two bugs in the following codes: time_len = strlen(time_str); ... memset(time_buf + time_len, ' ', blame_date_width - time_len); 1. The type of blame_date_width is size_t, which is unsigned. If time_len is greater than blame_date_width, the result of "blame_date_width - time_len" will never be a negative number, but a really big positive number, and will cause memory overwrite. This bug can be triggered if either l10n message for function show_date_relative() in date.c is longer than 30 characters, then `git blame --date relative` may exit abnormally. 2. When show blame information with relative time, the UTF-8 characters in time_str will break the alignment of columns after the date field. This is because the time_buf padding with spaces should have a constant display width, not a fixed strlen size. So we should call utf8_strwidth() instead of strlen() for width calibration.
