When we show "branch@{0}", we format into a fixed-size
buffer using sprintf. This can overflow if you have long
branch names. We can fix it by using a temporary strbuf.

This function assumes that the relative_base path passed
into it is no larger than PATH_MAX, and writes into a
fixed-size buffer. However, this path may not have actually
come from the filesystem; for example, add_submodule_odb
generates a path using a strbuf and passes it in. This is
hard to trigger in practice, though, because the long
submodule directory would have to exist on disk before we
would try to open its info/alternates file.

We can easily avoid the bug, though, by simply creating the
filename on the heap.

When we are loading a notes tree into our internal hash
table, we also collect any files that are clearly non-notes.
We format the name of the file into a PATH_MAX buffer, but
unlike true notes (which cannot be larger than a fanned-out
sha1 hash), these tree entries can be arbitrarily long,
overflowing our buffer.

We can fix this by switching to a strbuf. It doesn't even
cost us an extra allocation, as we can simply hand ownership
of the buffer over to the non-note struct.

This is of moderate security interest, as you might fetch
notes trees from an untrusted remote. However, we do not do
so by default, so you would have to manually fetch into the
notes namespace.

When unpack-trees wants to know whether a path will
overwrite anything in the working tree, we use lstat() to
see if there is anything there. But if we are going to write
"foo/bar", we can't just lstat("foo/bar"); we need to look
for leading prefixes (e.g., "foo"). So we use the lstat cache
to find the length of the leading prefix, and copy the
filename up to that length into a temporary buffer (since
the original name is const, we cannot just stick a NUL in
it).

The copy we make goes into a PATH_MAX-sized buffer, which
will overflow if the prefix is longer than PATH_MAX. How
this happens is a little tricky, since in theory PATH_MAX is
the biggest path we will have read from the filesystem. But
this can happen if:

  - the compiled-in PATH_MAX does not accurately reflect
    what the filesystem is capable of

  - the leading prefix is not _quite_ what is on disk; it
    contains the next element from the name we are checking.
    So if we want to write "aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd" and "aaa/bbb"
    exists, the prefix of interest is "aaa/bbb/ccc". If
    "aaa/bbb" approaches PATH_MAX, then "ccc" can overflow
    it.

So this can be triggered, but it's hard to do. In
particular, you cannot just "git clone" a bogus repo. The
verify_absent checks happen before unpack-trees writes
anything to the filesystem, so there are never any leading
prefixes during the initial checkout, and the bug doesn't
trigger. And by definition, these files are larger than
PATH_MAX, so writing them will fail, and clone will
complain (though it may write a partial path, which will
cause a subsequent "git checkout" to hit the bug).

We can fix it by creating the temporary path on the heap.
The extra malloc overhead is not important, as we are
already making at least one stat() call (and probably more
for the prefix discovery).

The function parses the input to compute the broken-down time in
"struct tm", and the GMT timezone offset.  If the timezone offset
does not exist in the input, the broken-down time is turned into the
number of seconds since epoch both in the current timezone and in
GMT and the offset is computed as their difference.

However, we forgot to make sure tm.tm_isdst is set to -1 (i.e. let
the system figure out if DST is in effect in the current timezone
when turning the broken-down time to the number of seconds since
epoch); it is done so at the beginning of the function, but a call
to match_digit() in the function can lead to a call to gmtime_r() to
clobber the field.

When the input is UTF-8 and Perl is operating on bytes instead of
characters, a diff that changes one multibyte character to another
that shares an initial byte sequence will result in a broken diff
display as the common byte sequence prefix will be separated from
the rest of the bytes in the multibyte character.

For example, if a single line contains only the unicode character
U+C9C4 (encoded as UTF-8 0xEC, 0xA7, 0x84) and that line is then
changed to the unicode character U+C9C0 (encoded as UTF-8 0xEC,
0xA7, 0x80), when operating on bytes diff-highlight will show only
the single byte change from 0x84 to 0x80 thus creating invalid UTF-8
and a broken diff display.

Fix this by putting Perl into character mode when splitting the line
and then back into byte mode after the split is finished.

The utf8::xxx functions require Perl 5.8 so we require that as well.

Also, since we are mucking with code in the split_line function, we
change a '*' quantifier to a '+' quantifier when matching the $COLOR
expression which has the side effect of speeding everything up while
eliminating useless '' elements in the returned array.

Merges with an absurd number of parents are still a bad idea because
they do not render well in tools like gitk, but if they are present
in the repository being imported into git then there's no need to
avoid reproducing them faithfully.

In olden times, before v1.6.0-rc0~194 (2008-06-27), git commit-tree
and higher-level tools built on top of it were limited to writing 16
parents for a commit.  Nowadays normal git operations are happy to
write more parents when asked, so the motivation for this note in the
fast-import documentation is gone and we can remove it.
