Should be "const char *tail" in our codebase.

Even though buf, which is a result from read_sha1_file(), is
always terminated with an extra NUL (outside its object size),
if a bogus commit object ends with "author" (and without the
author information) this part will pass, and ...

... you catch that here.  That seems like a good change.

Likewise here.

Broken indentation.

However, as long as buf at this point hasn't go beyond tail,
which you already checked, I think we can rely on strtoul()
stopping at the NUL at the end of buffer (that is one beyond
tail), without this extra memcpy().  Am I mistaken?

This hunk is logically a no-op but I like your version better.
It also makes sure tree object name is terminated with a LF.

When already somewhat deep in the rc cycle, looking at a patch
from somebody who uses 1.4.4.4 makes me look at the patch a bit
more carefully than usual ;-)
