Thanks to the review of Junio, Duy and Thomas here is a reroll of the patches, where the name length is separated from the flags in the in-memory format and which includes a little bit of a performance optimization by using the ce_namelen field instead of strlen() in a couple of places thanks to the suggestion of Duy.
