The callers inside read-cache.c, which I think were the original
intended audiences of the function, always call verify_path() with
the pathname suitable to be stored as a cache entry.

The callee never has to assume an extra trailing slash might exist
at the end.  And verify_path() said "no", if any caller passed an
extra trailing slash before the commit in question.

I _think_ we defined the new "tree" type entries the sparse index
stuff added to be the _only_ cache entries whose path always ends
with a slash?  If so, perhaps we should audit the existing callers 
and move the "paths that come from end-users to be entered to the
index must never end with a slash" sanity check this function gave
us, which was broken by 6e773527b6, perhaps?

"git update-index" should never allow to create a "tree" kind of
cache entry (making it sparse again should be the task of systems
internal, and should not be done by end-user feeding a pre-shrunk
"tree" kind of entry to record a sparsely populated state, if I
understand correctly), so its call to verify_path(), if it ends with
a directory separator, should say "that's not a good path".

Prehaps we can rename verify_path() to verify_path_internal() that
is _known_ to be called with names that are already vetted to be
stored in ce_name and convert callers inside read-cache.c to call
it, and write verify_path() as a thin wrapper of it to fail when the
former stops by returning S_ISDIR() at the place your fix touched,
or something?

Thanks.
