Subject: [PATCH] resolve_symlink(): take a strbuf parameter
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Change resolve_symlink() to take a strbuf rather than a string as
parameter.  This simplifies the code and removes an arbitrary pathname
length restriction.  It also means that lock_file's filename field no
longer needs to be initialized to a large size.
