From: Jeff Hostetler <jeffhostetler@xxxxxxxxxx> The call to index_file_exists() in the loop in expand_to_path() passes the wrong string length. Let's fix that. The loop in expand_to_path() searches the name-hash for each sub-directory prefix in the provided pathname. That is, by searching for "dir1/" then "dir1/dir2/" then "dir1/dir2/dir3/" and so on until it finds a cache-entry representing a sparse directory. The code creates "strbuf path_mutable" to contain the working pathname and modifies the buffer in-place by temporarily replacing the character following each successive "/" with NUL for the duration of the call to index_file_exists(). It does not update the strbuf.len during this substitution. Pass the patched length of the prefix path instead.
