fmt-merge-msg: don't use static buffer in record_person
The record_person function just parses out the "name" field of the person line in a commit and adds it to a string_list. The only reason we need an extra buffer is that the string_list functions require a NUL-terminated string. Instead of the static buffer, we can just allocate a temporary NUL-terminated copy. In addition to removing a useless limit, this removes the only user of MAX_GITNAME outside of ident.c. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
