My C is a bit rusty, but wouldn't that provide a definition for vasprintf when the libc is *also* providing a definition? Might that not also break other apps that want to link with this?

Maybe the right solution is to rename this local implementation so that it can't conflict, like "git_vasprintf", or to include it only when the libc doesn't provide it.
