abspath_part_inside_repo() is only used in setup.c, isn't it?
In this case we don't need it in cache.h, it can be declared inside setup.c as

static int abspath_part_inside_repo(char *dst, const char *path);
(or "static inline" )

-----------------
(And not in this patch: see the final setup.c:)

        if (g) {
            free(npath);
            return NULL;
        }

If this is the only caller of abspath_part_inside_repo(),
then  do we need npath 2 times as a parameter ?
Or can we re-write it to look like this:

static inline int abspath_part_inside_repo(char *path)
