Check the limit.h of linux and find out that the MACRO
#define PATH_MAX 4096 /* # chars in a path name including nul */
So if the magic number 40 is just the size it should be. (e.g. hash code)
It may bring bugs with the length(4056) of long name(gitdirenv).
As gitdirenv could be set by GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT.
If it is a bug, it will almost never occur.
But I need your help to know if there is the PATH_MAX of git is the mirror of
the
PATH_MAX of linux and if this fix is right?
If it was, there may be many places like "PATH_MAX + 1" could be replaced by
just "PATH_MAX". And there may be many places like this.
Cheers,
He Sun
