Seems like a reasonable thing to do. When I wrote strbuf_realpath() I
think I looked at the strbuf_getcwd() function for what it did (since it
handled paths) and it simply uses the provided buffer disregarding what
is already stored in it.

I know its not required but I would have braces on the 'else' branch
since they were needed on the 'if' branch. But that's up to you and
your style :)
