Subject: [PATCH] lstat_cache: guard against full match of length of 'name' parameter

My project ran into this bug today, and I can confirm that this patch
fixes it.  I think it's an important bug; it hasn't been mentioned yet,
but this can result in lost work if the user had modified, but not added,
one of the files that Git wrongly deleted.

So, what's the status of this patch?

  Sorry, have not have much time, and did not get any response on the
  patch, and I almost forgot about it for a while.

  But, since you say that the patch is ok, I shall try make a more
  "final" patch by 14:00 UTC Friday 26.

  Thanks for reminding me!
