Actually I just looked closer at enter_repo() and it's not quite
as simple as your proposed patch, because enter_repo() wants to
concatenate suffixes like ".git".  So either the malloced string
would have to be copied to the static buffer again, or return a
strbuf, or take an argument for allocating extra chars.

Wow, I'd forgotten how much work it is to do string manipulation
in C.
