[PATCH 4/6] index-pack: drop fixed-size buffer for pack filenames

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Date
Mar 15, 2017, 21:28 UTC
Message-ID
<20170315212856.fetjp5cyu4l6juc7@sigill.intra.peff.net>
In-Reply-To
<20170315212617.6x57bvltinuozv4q@sigill.intra.peff.net>

We write the name of the pack filename into a fixed-size buffer using snprintf(), but do not check the return value. As a result, a very long object directory could cause us to quietly truncate the pack filename (leading to a corrupted repository, as the packfile would be missing its .pack extension).

We can use odb_pack_name() to fix this (and make the code simpler, too).
