Ever since worktrees were introduced, the `git_path()` function _really_
needed to be called e.g. to get at the path to `logs/HEAD` (`HEAD` is
specific to the worktree). However, the wrong path is returned for
`logs/HEAD.lock`.

This does not matter as long as the Git executable is doing the asking,
as the path for that `index.lock` file is constructed from
`git_path("index")` by appending the `.lock` suffix.

However, Git GUI just learned to use `--git-path` instead of appending
relative paths to what `git rev-parse --git-dir` returns (and as a
consequence not only using the correct hooks directory, but also using
the correct paths in worktrees other than the main one). While it does
not seem as if Git GUI in particular is asking for `logs/HEAD.lock`,
let's be safe rather than sorry.

Side note: Git GUI _does_ ask for `index.lock`, but that is already
resolved correctly.

Is this still git_path("index") or is it now HEAD?

Is that s/but/and/?

We only do strcmp for the tail part at the end of the path, so this
should probably OK from performance point of view but semantically
it is not very satisfying to see a special case for a single .suffix
this deep in the callchain.  I wonder if it is nicer to have the
higher level callers notice ".lock" or whatever other suffixes they
care about and ask the lower layer for a key with the suffix
stripped?

Will queue.

Thanks.

I was wondering the same.  Despite all of its functions being file
static, this is a fairly general trie implementation for paths, which
could potentially be useful in other parts of Git as well.  Special
casing any suffix within its implementation makes it less (re)usable
in other cases.

Darn. It is "logs/HEAD", of course.

It sounds better with an "and", you're right.

Hmm. The parameter is provided as a `const char *`, so I cannot just
edit it. My first attempt at fixing this resulted in this commit:

-- snip --
    path: switch `trie_find()` to a counted string

    Before this patch, the `trie_find()` function would be fed a regular,
    NUL-terminated string.

    However, in the next commit, we want to strip any `.lock` suffix from
    the argument, and the argument is provided as a `const char *` (i.e. we
    do not want to modify it).

    Let's use a string + length pair of parameters instead of a single
    NUL-terminated string to open the door for this kind of manipulation.

However, I think this is _really_ ugly and intrusive. The opposite of
what my goals were.

So I think I'll just bite the bullet and use a temporary copy if the
argument ends in `.lock`.

Sounds like a quite sensible design decision to me.
