@jonas, I started to review this PR from @binho1991 and have some suggestions, see koutcher@gh-1096-null-pointer-deref.

there are many other places where allocation can fail. Shouldn't we just use xmalloc/xcalloc like git does?

Hi @koutcher and @krobelus! Does anything still need to be done for the pull request to be accepted? Some points do not use xmalloc/xcalloc. Is there any difference in their use? If need be, I can change the pull request to use xmalloc and xcalloc. Thanks!

@binho1991, thank you, I don't think xmalloc/xcalloc would bring any benefit. You did a pretty good job at identifying the missing checks, only a few remained in argv_append. I completed my review in koutcher@4958efe (see src/argv.c and src/util.c), I believe it should be enough.
