Yes, of course, but it has the "alloc" variable to keep track of the
size of the allocated buffer, and provided that ALLOC_GROW() uses a
sensible factor to grow the buffer, it won't be calling malloc/free
that much to be a problem.
Of course, we could do the same and just add a "alloc" variable as
well and then use it with strbuf_attach()/strbuf_detach(), but at this
point why not just store it in an strbuf then and avoid the extra
"alloc" struct member?

I don't think this is a good deterrent. If the code wanted to, it
could just use strbuf_attach()/strbuf_detach() as well, no?
I believe this kind of issue would be better solved with a big WARNING
comment and code review.
Also, there may be use cases where the user may wish to modify the
commit message/author fields. E.g., user may wish to modify the
message of the commit that results from am --continue to take into
account the conflicts that caused the am to fail.
Regards,
Paul
