Subject: [PATCH 6/6] am: drop "dir" parameter from am_state_init
Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2017 17:09:35 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170420210935.dx2old5l6yuakqhq@sigill.intra.peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170420210754.bzrnc74dpjs7fgpf@sigill.intra.peff.net>

The only caller of this function passes in a static buffer
returned from git_path(). This looks dangerous at first
glance, but turns out to be OK because the first thing we do
is xstrdup() the result.

Let's turn this into a git_pathdup(). That's slightly more
efficient (no extra copy), and makes it easier to audit for
dangerous git_path() invocations.

Since there's only a single caller, let's just set this
default path inside the init function. That makes the memory
ownership clear.
