[PATCH 01/18] receive-pack: do not overallocate command structure

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date
Aug 19, 2014, 22:06 UTC
Message-ID
<1408485987-3590-2-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com>
In-Reply-To
<1408485987-3590-1-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com>

An "update" command in the protocol exchange consists of 40-hex old object name, SP, 40-hex new object name, SP, and a refname, but the first instance is further followed by a NUL with feature requests.

The command structure, which has a flex-array member that stores the refname at the end, was allocated based on the whole length of the update command, without excluding the trailing feature requests.
