These warnings are coming on default Fedora 28 build and probably others using gcc 8.1
../shared.c: In function ‘expand_macro’:
../shared.c:483:3: warning: ‘strncpy’ specified bound depends on the length of the source argument [-Wstringop-overflow=]
strncpy(name, value, len);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../shared.c:480:9: note: length computed here
len = strlen(value);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
strncpy with a computed length via strlen is usually
not the right thing.
../ui-shared.c: In function ‘cgit_repobasename’:
../ui-shared.c:135:2: warning: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 1024 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]
strncpy(rvbuf, reponame, sizeof(rvbuf));
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
add one char of padding and adjust so the code does the same.
