The inconsistency may not hurt as long as (1) the producers of the message will never stuff a NUL in the middle, and (2) strbuf always has the guard NUL after its contents. Even though we know that the latter will hold true for the foreseeable future, it also is easy to do the right thing here, too, so why not? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
