My concern with fixing directory_exists_in_index_icase() to add the
'/' itself was that it would have to copy the string to make space for
the '/', which could be expensive. However, I reworked the code so
that the existing strbufs now get passed to
directory_exists_in_index_icase(), which allows it to add its needed
'/' without duplicating the string. So, the trailing '/' requirement
of directory_exists_in_index_icase() is now a private implementation
detail, placing no burden on the caller.

I'll send the revised patch series later today since the commit
message needs a rewrite. Also, I'd like to try to split the change
into a couple patches -- one to pass around strbufs, which has a noisy
diff, and one to fix the actual bug -- though I fear that splitting
may not be possible.
