[PATCH 12/17] refs.c: avoid repeated git_path calls in rename_tmp_log

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Date
Aug 10, 2015, 09:36 UTC
Message-ID
<20150810093653.GL30981@sigill.intra.peff.net>
In-Reply-To
<20150810092731.GA9027@sigill.intra.peff.net>

Because it's not safe to store the static-buffer results of git_path for a long time, we end up formatting the same filename over and over. We can fix this by using a function-local strbuf to store the formatted pathname and avoid repeating ourselves.
