As this path is read from a file git itself creates, and if we know
that it will always contain forward slashes, then I agree that it
could be potentially confusing to later readers to see
git_find_last_dir_sep(). So, keeping it as-is seems correct.

Not sure if it needs a comment. I reviewed this rather quickly since
(I think) you plan on re-rolling it and I'm far behind on my reviews.
Consequently, I didn't check the existing code, and reviewed only
within the context of the patch itself. If the end result is that it's
clear from reading the code that it will always contain forward
slashes, then a comment would be redundant. You could perhaps mention
in the commit message that the slash will always be forward, which
should satisfy future reviewers and readers of the code once its in
the tree.

If we look at fspathcmp() as a function which performs whatever magic
is needed to make comparisons work on a platform/filesystem, then it
might indeed be reasonable to enhance it to recognize '/' and '\' as
equivalent (with possible caveats for Windows corner cases).
