From 883653babd8ee7ea23e6a5c392bb739348b1eb61 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2006 23:53:27 -0700 Subject: http-fetch: fix alternates handling. Fetch over http from a repository that uses alternates to borrow from neighbouring repositories were quite broken, apparently for some time now. We parse input and count bytes to allocate the new buffer, and when we copy into that buffer we know exactly how many bytes we want to copy from where. Using strlcpy for it was simply stupid, and the code forgot to take it into account that strlcpy terminated the string with NUL.
