Thanks, this looks much nicer than the last round. I still have a few
comments:

Can we bump these declarations closer to the point of use? I think that
makes it easier to read, as the matching bits are all together.

So this:

> +#ifndef NO_IPV6
> +		memset (&hints, '\0', sizeof (hints));

> +		if ((he = gethostbyname(buf)) && strchr(he->h_name, '.'))
> +			strbuf_addstr(out, he->h_name);
> +#endif /* NO_IPV6 */

becomes:

      else {
  #ifndef NO_IPV6
	struct addrinfo hints, *ai;
	int gai;
	if (!(gai = getaddrinfo()...))
  #else
	struct hostent *he;
	if ((he = gethostbyname()....))
  #endif

This depends on both sides of the #if ending with a hanging "if" clause.
I guess that's OK in such a small function, but I do still wonder if we
can have a helper like:

  static void canonical_name(const char *host, struct strbuf *out)
  {
  #ifndef NO_IPV6
	struct addrinfo hints, *ai;
	int gai = getaddrinfo(host, NULL, &hints, &ai);
	if (!gai && ai && strchr(ai->ai_canonname, '.')) {
		strbuf_addstr(out, ai->ai_canonname);
		freeaddrinfo(ai);
	}
  #else
	struct hostent *he = gethostbyname(buf);
	if (he && strchr(he->h_name, '.'))
		strbuf_addstr(out, he->h_name);
  }

  ...
  canonical_name(buf, out);
  if (!out.len)
	strbuf_addf(out, "%s.(none)", buf);

(or possibly have an integer return value from canonical_name instead of
checking the strbuf length).

Should this be "if (!gai)"?
