unique_path: fix unlikely heap overflow
When merge-recursive creates a unique filename, it uses a template like: path~branch_%d where the final "_%d" is filled by an incrementing counter until we find a unique name. We allocate 8 characters for the counter, but there is no logic to limit the size of the integer. Of course, this is extremely unlikely, as you would need a hundred million collisions to trigger the problem. Even if an attacker constructed a specialized repo, it is unlikely that the victim would have the patience to run the merge. However, we can make it trivially correct (and hopefully more readable) by using a strbuf. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
