Currently, the struct object_id pointer returned from tree_entry_extract lives directly inside the parsed tree buffer. In a future commit, this will change so that it instead points to a dedicated struct member. Since in this code path, we want to modify the buffer directly, compute the buffer offset we want to modify by using the pointer to the path instead.
