add_pending_object_with_path(): work around "gcc -O3" complaint
When compiling with -O3, some gcc versions (10.2.1 here) complain about
an out-of-bounds subscript:
revision.c: In function ‘do_add_index_objects_to_pending’:
revision.c:321:22: error: array subscript [1, 2147483647] is outside array bounds of ‘char[1]’ [-Werror=array-bounds]
321 | if (0 < len && name[len] && buf.len)
| ~~~~^~~~~
The "len" parameter here comes from calling interpret_branch_name(),
which intends to return the number of characters of "name" it parsed.
But the compiler doesn't realize this. It knows the size of the empty
string "name" passed in from do_add_index_objects_to_pending(), but it
has no clue that the "len" we get back will be constrained to "0" in
that case.
And I don't think the warning is telling us about some subtle or clever
bug. The implementation of interpret_branch_name() is in another file
entirely, and the compiler can't see it (you can even verify there is no
clever LTO going on by replacing it with "return 0" and still getting
the warning).
We can work around this by replacing our "did we hit the trailing NUL"
subscript dereference with a length check. We do not even have to pay
the cost for an extra strlen(), as we can pass our new length into
interpret_branch_name(), which was converting our "0" into a call to
strlen() anyway.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
