    Apply Petr's fix for CVE-2016-2315 CVE-2016-2324 from el6 (#1318252)
    
    As Petr noted in the patch, the upstream solution removed the
    path_name() function entirely. However, it's too much work to backport
    those changes to such old version of git without risk of behaviour
    changes, so the patch causes git to die with error message instead when
    paths exceed INT_MAX.
    
    It's worth noting that the git package from rawhide is expected to
    rebuild cleanly on EL-5, for anyone who wishes to update to the current
    git release.  For obvious reasons, we will not be pushing such
    disruptive changes to EPEL.
