Btw, I posted a similar-in-spirit patch to replace strncat
in ui-ssdiff.c back in January: <20190102073710.580-1-e at 80x24.org>

It uses strbuf and is close to code which already exists in
git.git, so it doesn't make calls to strlen() repeatedly.


(I'm also responsible for strncat banning in git.git :)
