Is there a reason not to do just an equivalent of

    #define git_pathdup mkpathdup

and be done with it?  Am I missing something?

They have a subtle difference: mkpathdup() calls cleanup_path() while
git_pathdup() does not. Without auditing all call sites, we can't be
sure this difference is insignificant. So I keep both functions
separate for now.
