Subject: [PATCH v4 01/22] receive-pack: do not overallocate command structure

From: Junio C Hamano <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2014 13:54:49 -0700

An "update" command in the protocol exchange consists of 40-hex old
object name, SP, 40-hex new object name, SP, and a refname, but the
first instance is further followed by a NUL with feature requests.

The command structure, which has a flex-array member that stores the
refname at the end, was allocated based on the whole length of the
update command, without excluding the trailing feature requests.
