Because if there is, such two tree entries would never be compared as
equal - the code in base_name_compare() explicitly compares modes, if
there is a change for dir bit, even for equal paths, entries would
compare as different.
The code I'm removing here is from 2005 April 262e82b4 (Fix diff-tree
recursion), which pre-dates base_name_compare() introduction in 958ba6c9
(Introduce "base_name_compare()" helper function) by a month.
