The explanatory comment before the definition of ALLOC_GROW carefully
lists arguments that will be used more than once and thus cannot have

There are buggy implementations of S_ISxxx(m) macros on some platforms
(e.g. NetBSD).  The issue is that NetBSD doesn't take care to wrap its
macro arguments in parentheses, so on Linux and sane systems we have
S_ISREG(m) defined as something like:

    (((m) & S_IFMT) == S_IFREG)

But on NetBSD:

    ((m & _S_IFMT) == _S_IFREG)

Since a caller in builtin/diff.c called our macro as `S_IFREG | 0644'
this bug introduced a logic error on NetBSD, since the precedence of
bit-wise & is higher than | in C.

The ctype functions isspace(), isalnum(), et al take an integer
argument representing an unsigned character, or -1 for EOF.  On
platforms with a signed char, it is unsafe to pass a char to them
without casting it to unsigned char first.

Most of git is already shielded against this by the ctype
implementation in git-compat-util.h, but xdiff, which uses libc
ctype.h, ought to be fixed.

The buffer used to construct paths like ".git/objects/info" and
".git/objects/pack" is allocated on the heap and never freed.

So free it.  While at it, factor out the relevant code into its own
function and rename the sha1_dir variable to object_directory (to
match the change in everyday usage after the renaming of
SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY in v0.99~603^2~7, 2005).

If setup_git_env() is run before the usual repository discovery
sequence and .git is a file with the text

	gitdir: <path>

(with <path> any string) then the in-core git_dir variable is set to
the result of converting <path> to an absolute path using
make_absolute_path().

Unfortunately make_absolute_path() returns its result in a static
buffer that is overwritten by later calls.  Such a call could cause
later accesses to git_dir (from git_pathdup(), for example) to read
the wrong path, leaving git very confused.

It is not obvious whether any existing code in git will trigger the
problem, but in any case, it is worth a few dozen bytes to copy the
return value from make_absolute_path() for some added peace of mind.
