name-rev: replace static buffer with strbuf

When name-rev needs to format an actual name, we do so into a fixed-size buffer. That includes the actual ref tip, as well as any traversal information. Since refs can exceed 1024 bytes, this means you can get a bogus result. E.g., doing: git tag $(perl -e 'print join("/", 1..1024)') git describe --contains HEAD^ results in ".../282/283", when it should be ".../1023/1024~1". We can solve this by using a heap buffer. We'll use a strbuf, which lets us write into the same buffer from our loop without having to reallocate. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
