From: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch>

convert_to_git sets src=dst->buf if any of the preceding conversions
actually did any work.  Thus in ident_to_git we have to use memmove
instead of memcpy as far as src->dst copying is concerned.

Valgrind intermittently detected this for me in t0021, hence the
patch.  As far as I'm aware it has been broken since the rewrite to
memcpy back in 5ecd293 (Rewrite convert_to_{git,working_tree} to use
strbuf's., 2007-09-16).  It probably never really mattered as all
involved copies are towards lower addresses (content is only removed)
and thus a straightforward memcpy operation will do the right thing by
accident.
