Merge branch 'jk/tree-walk-overflow'
Codepaths to walk tree objects have been audited for integer overflows and hardened. * jk/tree-walk-overflow: tree-walk: harden make_traverse_path() length computations tree-walk: add a strbuf wrapper for make_traverse_path() tree-walk: accept a raw length for traverse_path_len() tree-walk: use size_t consistently tree-walk: drop oid from traverse_info setup_traverse_info(): stop copying oid
