Split into a new patch.  I'll share my reasons in the commit message.

Doesn't seem worth it.  I just started trying to rework this with a
strbuf and I just don't see any benefit here.  We know the tmpfile
ends with ".pack.temp" when we created this request structure.  So
a strdup and overwrite of the tail just works.

Yup, good point, thanks.
