check_aliased_update: strcpy() instead of strcat() to copy

trast · gitster · commit 0e71bc300432 · 2010-06-11T13:51:27.000-07:00
da3efdb (receive-pack: detect aliased updates which can occur with
symrefs, 2010-04-19) introduced two strcat() into uninitialized
strings.  The intent was clearly make a copy of the static buffer used
by find_unique_abbrev(), so use strcpy() instead.
