Subject: format_sanitized_subject: Don't trim past initial length of strbuf
X-Git-Tag: v1.6.3-rc0~32^2
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=871d21d42e0f782b7cb111beec8c252e9aa627ff;p=git.git

format_sanitized_subject: Don't trim past initial length of strbuf

If the subject line is '...' the strbuf will be accessed before the
first dot is added; potentially changing the strbuf passed into the
function or accessing sb->buf[-1] if it was originally empty.
