[PATCH 14/17] refs.c: remove_empty_directories can take a strbuf

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Date
Aug 10, 2015, 09:37 UTC
Message-ID
<20150810093727.GN30981@sigill.intra.peff.net>
In-Reply-To
<20150810092731.GA9027@sigill.intra.peff.net>

The first thing we do in this function is copy the input into a strbuf. Of the 4 callers, 3 of them already have a strbuf we could use. Let's just take the strbuf, and convert the remaining caller to use a strbuf, rather than a raw git_path. This is safer, anyway, as remove_dir_recursively is a non-trivial function that might use the pathname buffers itself (this is _probably_ OK, as the likely culprit would be calling resolve_gitlink_ref, but we do not pass the proper flags to ask it to avoid blowing away gitlinks).
