While examining (relatively) recent changes to git, my eye happened to notice 
the following inconsistency on line 184 of the current version of 
archive-tar.c. 

-    sprintf(header->chksum, "%07o", ustar_header_chksum(header));
+    snprintf(header->chksum, sizeof(header->chksum), "%07o", 
ustar_header_chksum(header));

I believe the author meant to invoke the xsnprintf function, not the snprintf 
function. I say this because all of the other references to sprintf were indeed 
changed to xsnprintf, with the necessary additional 2nd argument.

This change was applied September 24, 2015 (commit 
f2f026752993054c1b712b6f4ae3ff167db38cbe). 

See 
https://github.com/git/git/commit/f2f026752993054c1b712b6f4ae3ff167db38cbe#diff-d18f7cb5411066ed8eda566b26d2570c
  for the full set of related changes to archive-tar.c.

Thanks
