index: canonicalize inserted paths safely · 626f9e24
When adding to the index, we look to see if a portion of the given path matches a portion of a path in the index. If so, we will use the existing path information. For example, when adding `foo/bar.c`, if there is an index entry to `FOO/other` and the filesystem is case insensitive, then we will put `bar.c` into the existing tree instead of creating a new one with a different case. Use `strncmp` to do that instead of `memcmp`. When we `bsearch` into the index, we locate the position where the new entry would go. The index entry at that position does not necessarily have a relation to the entry we're adding, so we cannot make assumptions and use `memcmp`. Instead, compare them as strings. When canonicalizing paths, we look for the first index entry that matches a given substring.
