Within this RFC-series I want to get some comments on two ideas that I have for refactoring the current `strncpy` usage in repository.c.
When looking at `make_first_field` we see a u64 is being used to store up to 8 bytes from a literal string. This is slightly suspect to me but it works? In regards to `strncpy` here, it makes the code needlessly complex imo. Please see my two ideas to change this and let me know if any other approaches are more reasonable.
