When getpwuid fails, we give a cute but cryptic message.
While it makes sense if you know that getpwuid or identity
functions are being called, this code is triggered behind
the scenes by quite a few git commands these days (e.g.,
receive-pack on a remote server might use it for a reflog;
the current message is hard to distinguish from an
authentication error). Let's switch to something that gives
a little more context.
While we're at it, we can factor out all of the
cut-and-pastes of the "you don't exist" message into a
wrapper function. Rather than provide xgetpwuid, let's make
it even more specific to just getting the passwd entry for
the current uid. That's the only way we use getpwuid anyway,
and it lets us make an even more specific error message.
The current message also fails to mention errno. While the
usual cause for getpwuid failing is that the user does not
exist, mentioning errno makes it easier to diagnose these
problems. Note that POSIX specifies that errno remain
untouched if the passwd entry does not exist (but will be
set on actual errors), whereas some systems will return
ENOENT or similar for a missing entry. We handle both cases
in our wrapper.

When we pull the user's name from the GECOS field of the
passwd file (or generate an email address based on their
username and hostname), we put the result into a
static buffer. While it's extremely unlikely that anybody
ever hit these limits (after all, in such a case their
parents must have hated them), we still had to deal with the
error cases in our code.
Converting these static buffers to strbufs lets us simplify
the code and drop some error messages from the documentation
that have confused some users.
The conversion is mostly mechanical: replace string copies
with strbuf equivalents, and access the strbuf.buf directly.
There are a few exceptions:
- copy_gecos and copy_email are the big winners in code
reduction (since they no longer have to manage the
string length manually)
- git_ident_config wants to replace old versions of
the default name (e.g., if we read the config multiple
times), so it must reset+add to the strbuf instead of
just adding
Note that there is still one length limitation: the
gethostname interface requires us to provide a static
buffer, so we arbitrarily choose 1024 bytes for the
hostname.

The fmt_ident function gets a flag that tells us whether to
die if the name field is blank. If it is blank and we don't
die, then we fall back to the username from the passwd file.
The current code writes the value into git_default_name.
However, that's not necessarily correct, as the empty value
might have come from git_default_name, or it might have been
passed in. This leads to two potential problems:
1. If we are overriding an empty name in the passed-in
value, then we may be overwriting a perfectly good name
(from gitconfig or gecos) in the git_default_name
buffer. Later calls to fmt_ident will end up using the
fallback name, even though a better name was available.
2. If we override an empty gecos name, we end up with the
fallback name in git_default_name. A later call that
uses IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME will see the fallback name
and think that it is a good name, instead of producing
an error. In other words, a blank gecos name would
cause an error with this code:
git_committer_info(IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME);
but not this:
git_committer_info(0);
git_committer_info(IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME);
because in the latter case, the first call has polluted
the name buffer.
Instead, let's make the fallback a per-invocation variable.
We can just use the pw->pw_name string directly, since it
only needs to persist through the rest of the function (and
we don't do any other getpwent calls).
Note that while this solves (1) for future invocations of
fmt_indent, the current invocation might use the fallback
when it could in theory load a better value from
git_default_name. However, by not passing
IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME, the caller is indicating that it
does not care too much about the name, anyway, so we don't
bother; this is primarily about protecting future callers
who do care.

We try to generate a sane message id for cover letters and
threading by appending some changing bits to the front of
the user's email address. The current code parses the email

much more easily by just calling ident_default_email
ourselves.

We use fgets to read the /etc/mailname file, which means we
will typically end up with an extra newline in our
git_default_email. Most of the time this doesn't matter, as
fmt_ident will skip it as cruft, but there is one code path
that accesses it directly (in http-push.c:lock_remote).

The record_person function just parses out the "name" field
of the person line in a commit and adds it to a string_list.
The only reason we need an extra buffer is that the
string_list functions require a NUL-terminated string.
Instead of the static buffer, we can just allocate a
temporary NUL-terminated copy. In addition to removing a
useless limit, this removes the only user of MAX_GITNAME
outside of ident.c.

functions so that callers can get just the parts they need.
While we're at it, let's change the interface to simple

and contained logic for "if we already have some other
value, don't load the default" which properly belongs in
fmt_ident.

When reading patterns from a file, we pass the lines as allocated string
buffers to append_grep_pat() and never free them. That's not a problem
because they are needed until the program ends anyway.
However, now that the function duplicates the pattern string, we can
reuse the strbuf after calling that function. This simplifies the code
a bit and plugs a minor memory leak.

Implement this functionality by creating and inserting extra grep_pat

The function first decides if we want to copy data taken from existing
pack verbatim or we want to encode the data ourselves for the packfile
we are creating and then carries out the decision. Separate the latter
phase into two helper functions, one for the case the data is reused,
the other for the case the data is produced anew.
A little twist is that it can later turn out that we cannot reuse the
data after we initially decide to do so; in such a case, the "reuse"
helper makes a call to "generate" helper. It is easier to follow than
the current fallback code that uses "goto" inside a single large
function.

from heap-allocated char arrays caused paths to form like 'dir/file1',
