If a commit object has a header line at the end of the
buffer that is missing its newline (or if it appears so
because the content on the header line contains a stray
NUL), then git will segfault.
Interestingly, this case is explicitly handled and we do
correctly scan the final line for the header we are looking
for. But if we don't find it, we will dereference NULL while
trying to look at the next line.
Git will never generate such a commit, but it's good to be
defensive. We could die() in such a case, but since it's
easy enough to handle it gracefully, let's just issue a
warning and continue (so you could still view such a commit
with "git show", though you might be missing headers after
the NUL).

When we parse the name and email from a commit to
pretty-print them, we usually can just put the result
directly into our strbuf result. However, if we are going to
use the mailmap, then we must first copy them into a
NUL-terminated buffer to feed to the mailmap machinery.
We did so by using strlcpy into a static buffer, but we used
it wrong. We fed it the length of the substring we wanted to
copy, but never checked that that length was less than the
size of the destination buffer.
The simplest fix is to just use snprintf to copy the
substring properly while still respecting the destination
buffer's size. It might seem like replacing the static
buffer with a strbuf would help, but we need to feed a
static buffer to the mailmap machinery anyway, so there's
not much benefit to handling arbitrary sizes.
A more ideal solution would be for mailmap to grow an
interface that:
1. Takes a pointer and length combination, instead of
assuming a NUL-terminated string.
2. Returns a pointer to the mailmap's allocated string,
rather than copying it into the buffer.
Then we could avoid the need for an extra buffer entirely.
However, doing this would involve a lot of refactoring of
mailmap and of string_list (which mailmap uses to store the
map itself). For now, let's do the simplest thing to fix the
bug.

Usually these values get fed to fmt_ident, which will trim
any cruft anyway, but there are a few code paths which use
them directly. Let's clean them up for the benefit of those
callers. Furthermore, fmt_ident will look at the pre-trimmed
value and decide whether to invoke ERROR_ON_NO_NAME; this
check can be fooled by a name consisting only of spaces.
Note that we only bother to clean up when we are pulling the

When we construct an email address from the username and
hostname, we generate the host part of the email with this
procedure:
1. add the result of gethostname
2. if it has a dot, ok, it's fully qualified
3. if not, then look up the unqualified hostname via
gethostbyname; take the domain name of the result and
append it to the hostname
Step 3 can actually produce a bogus result, as the name
returned by gethostbyname may not be related to the hostname
we fed it (e.g., consider a machine "foo" with names
"foo.one.example.com" and "bar.two.example.com"; we may have
the latter returned and generate the bogus name
"foo.two.example.com").
This patch simply uses the full hostname returned by
gethostbyname. In the common case that the first part is the
same as the unqualified hostname, the behavior is identical.
And in the case that it is not the same, we are much more
likely to be generating a valid name.

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 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
