Makes sense.

Rather than populating those string lists, why not write into the
`contents` directly, _while_ traversing the directories?

But if you really, really want to use string lists (hey, I'm a fan, I
introduced them to Git's source code, after all), then please make sure
to release them in the end, too.

You don't need a separate `strbuf` for that: just complete `dirpath`
with a trailing slash, remember the length, then in each iteration reset
the length and append the current subdirectory name.

As mentioned earlier, I would rather write things into `obj_info`
directly, without detouring to a string list.

Or, if you decide that you want to write to a `FILE *` anyway, I'd
rather avoid the detour to the `strbuf` altogether.
