This munges a strbuf pointed by a structure that was supplied by the
caller as a parameter to this function.  Most notably, all commas in
remote_info->buf are replaced with NULs.

A quick read of the sole caller of this function reveals that the
caller passes one element of an array of strbuf it obtained by
calling strbuf_split_str() for the only purpose of calling this
function, and the caller never looks at the .buf member itself, so I
think this munging with _in_place() would not hurt the caller.

We find the first '=' and ...

... replace it with NUL; the item->string here is now split into elem & value.

And the value gets decoded.

And we are done with the string list that holds the pieces of remote
info split out.

But this use of remote_info->buf will no longer give us much useful
information.  It might say something like "name", and the warning
would not let us see what the rest of the remote_info->buf used to
have before _in_place splitting.

I think initializing elem_list with INIT_DUP and using string_list_split()
without _in_place should be sufficient to fix this.

If we splitted this into a string list, then each item in it
will not have the terminating ';' at its end, therefore ...

... this strip_suffix() will become unnecessary.

Such a change would require this call to be made with const char *
not struct strbuf * as a parameter, but the callee we just saw above
uses its parameter (i.e. remote_info) only to look at the .buf member,
and does not take any advantage of it being a strbuf (like it can be
trimmed or its length is known without running strlen(.buf) on it),
so that should be an easy conversion.

Overall looking very promising.  Thanks for working on the topic.
