[PATCH v4 0/2] Replace atoi() with strtol_i_updated()

Hello,

This patch series replaces atoi() with an updated version of strtol_i() called strtol_i_updated (Credits: Junio C Hamano). The reasoning behind this is to improve error handling by not allowing non-numerical characters in the hunk header (which might happen in case of a corrupt patch, although rarely).

There is still a change to be made, as Junio says: "A corrupt patch may be getting a nonsense patch-ID with the current code and hopefully is not matching other patches that are not corrupt, but with such a change, a corrupt patch may not be getting any patch-ID and a loop that computes patch-ID for many files and try to match them up might need to be rewritten to take the new failure case into account." I'm not sure where this change needs to me made (maybe get_one_patchid()?). It would be great if anyone could point me to the correct place.

Thanks, Mohit Marathe
