Re: [RFC] strbuf's in builtin-apply

> The builtin-apply part:
>   [1/6] New strbuf APIs: splice and attach.
>   [2/6] Rewrite convert_to_{git,working_tree} to use strbuf's.
>   [3/6] Now that cache.h needs strbuf.h, remove useless includes.
>   [4/6] builtin-apply: use strbuf's instead of buffer_desc's.
>
> And the two somehow more independant patches (need 1/6 still):
>   [5/6] Refactor replace_encoding_header.
>   [6/6] Remove preemptive allocations.
