This function does a lot of manual string handling, and has
some unnecessary limits. This patch cleans up a number of
things:
1. Drop the arbitrary 1000-byte limit on the size of the
remote name (we do not have such a limit in any of the
other remote-reading mechanisms).
2. Replace fgets into a fixed-size buffer with a strbuf,
eliminating any limits on the length of the URL.
3. Replace manual whitespace handling with strbuf_trim
(since we now have a strbuf). This also gets rid
of a call to strcpy, and the confusing reuse of the "p"
pointer for multiple purposes.
4. We currently build up the refspecs over multiple strbuf
calls. We do this to handle the fact that the URL "frag"
may not be present. But rather than have multiple
conditionals, let's just default "frag" to "master".
This lets us format the refspecs with a single xstrfmt.
It's shorter, and easier to see what the final string
looks like.
We also update the misleading comment in this area (the
local branch is named after the remote name, not after
the branch name on the remote side).
