Subject: [PATCH v2] ui-ssdiff: get rid of strncat
In-Reply-To: <20190102073710.580-1-e@80x24.org>
Message-ID: <20190422023912.GA25959@dcvr>

strncat is slow and error-prone, use the git strbuf API instead.
We can steal much of our logic from git/pretty.c::strbuf_add_tabexpand,
but maybe keep the invalid characters for now *shrug*.
---
 v2: call "strbuf_add(&sb, line, linelen);" at the end
 to ensure tab-less lines are shown.
