Due to the necessary changes to finish_tmp_packfile(), the focus of
this patch has changed slightly from that suggested by the
microproject. It's really now about finish_tmp_packfile() rather than
finish_bulk_checkin(). As such, it may make sense to adjust the patch
subject to reflect this. For instance:
Subject: finish_tmp_packfile(): use strbuf for pathname construction
You may also want your commit message to explain why you chose this
approach over other legitimate approaches. For instance, your change
places extra burden on callers of finish_tmp_packfile() by leaking a
detail of its implementation: namely that it wants to manipulate
pathnames easily (via strbuf). An equally valid and more encapsulated
approach would be for finish_tmp_packfile() to accept a 'const char *'
and construct its own strbuf internally.
If the extra strbuf creation in the alternate approach is measurably
slower, then you could use that fact to justify your implementation
choice in the commit message. On the other hand, if it's not
measurably slower, then perhaps the more encapsulated approach with
cleaner API might be preferable.

Thank you for your explaination. I get the point.
And I think if it is proved that the strbuf way is measurably slower.
We should add a check for the length of string before we sprintf().

Yes, it is perfectly acceptable (and encouraged) to send this patch as

I'm not sure what you mean by checking the string length before sprintf(). That's because one is not certain of the length of get_object_directory() Micheal Mhaggertymhag...@alum.mit.edu explained this to me. Saving stack space is nice, though given that it takes more time to allocate space on the heap, it is nonetheless usually preferred to use the stack for temporary variables of this size. The problem has more to do with the fact that the old version fixes a maximum length on the buffer, which could be a problem if one is not certain of the length of get_object_directory(). The other point of strbuf is that you don't have to do the error-prone bookkeeping yourself. So it would be preferable to use strbuf_addf(). It is the same as yours about the space and time costs. ^_^ My point was that if there are multiple ways of solving the same problem, it can be helpful for reviewers if your commit message explains why the solution you chose is better than the others.
