Sensible.

Is that a good idea for a plumbing like this command?  We would
silently accept these after silently stripping the trailing slash?

040000 tree 82a33d5150d9316378ef1955a49f2a5bf21aaeb2    templates/
100644 blob 1f89ffab4c32bc02b5d955851401628a5b9a540e    thread-utils.c/

The former _might_ count as "usability improvement", but if we are
doing the same for the latter we might be going a bit too lenient.

Let's see what really happens in the code.

Leave a single SP after "while", please.

We do this only to subtree entries, and all trailing slashes, not
just a single one.  OK, but I am not sure if the extra leniency is a
good idea to begin with.  "ls-tree" output does not have such a
trailing slashes, so it is unclear whom we are trying to be extra
nice with this.

This is the crux of the change.  And it is so simple.  Very nice.
