> Rewrite bulk-checkin.c:finish_bulk_checkin() to use a strbuf for handling packname, and explain why this is useful.
> Also check if the first argument of pack-write.c:finish_tmp_packfile() can be made const.

Adding 64 to strlen(get_object_directory()) to accomodate sha1_to_hex(sha1) and itself.
Using the APIs for strbuf is giving me test failures(12/15) during t1050-large.sh 
So, I used the malloc() and free() instead.
Instead of having packname on stack and cause stackoverflow because of MAX_PATH ~ 4KB, have it on heap.
Can have first parameter to pack-write.c:finish_tmp_packfile() as const because packname is not required to be modified.

I apologise for my two earlier patches not being in proper format. I have finally got it working properly. Will make sure,
it does not happen again.
