This did come up in review[1,2]. I had a hard time understanding the
loop because it looked idiomatic but wasn't (and we have preconceived
notions about behavior of things which look idiomatic).

At least for me, this would be more idiomatic if it was coded like this:

    for (i = 0; i < len; i++)
        if (isspace(name[i]))
            break;
    strbuf_addf(..., i, name);

or, perhaps (less concise):

    for (i = 0; i < len; i++)
        if (isspace(name[i]))
            break;
    len = i;
    strbuf_addf(..., len, name);
