Well in sub-process.h there is:

/* Members should not be accessed directly. */
struct subprocess_entry {
    struct hashmap_entry ent; /* must be the first member! */
    const char *cmd;
    struct child_process process;
};

so if cmd is always the same as process->argv[0], maybe there is no
need for the cmd member in the first place?
