[PATCH 16/28] attr: add counted string version of git_attr()

From: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com>
Date: Oct 11, 2016, 00:21 UTC
Message-ID: <20161011002115.23312-17-sbeller@google.com>
In-Reply-To: <20161011002115.23312-1-sbeller@google.com>

From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Often a potential caller has <name, namelen> pair that represents the name it wants to create an attribute out of.

When name[namelen] is not NUL, the caller has to xmemdupz() only to call git_attr().

Add git_attr_counted() that takes such a counted string instead of "const char *name".
