[PATCH v2 03/25] add_rev_cmdline(): make a copy of the name argument

From
Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

In-Reply-To
<1369472904-12875-1-git-send-email-mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

Instead of assuming that the memory pointed to by the name argument will live forever, make a local copy of it before storing it in the ref_cmdline_info.
