The original author apparently never read the documentation for snprintf,
or even tested that the output was correct. Passing overlapping memory
to snprintf causes undefined behavior, and usually resulted in only the
very last timestamp being written to metadata, and not a list at all.

This statement does not belong in a commit message.
Its insulting to whoever the author is and may not even be true.

Removed. However it /definitely/ was not tested properly.

New message: 

    Output was apparently not tested for correctness. Passing overlapping
    memory to snprintf causes undefined behavior, and usually resulted in
    only the very last timestamp being written to metadata, and not a list
    at all.

I don't think any active developer cares about it. Considering it was
broken, nobody nobody did. So just push it.

On a quick look, this seems slightly questionable (why the ret==20),
but probably ok.

Possibly you could CC the original author if you want to have more eyes
on it.

I CC'd him on the other patch already, but I'll loop him in here.

I was the original author and i am sorry about the mistake.

Given that you are trying to fix an issue here, can you please add a
comment as to what this if condition is doing? (why ret == 20 for
example). But up to you though.
