This allows the callback to use 'base' as a temporary buffer to
quickly assemble full path "without" extra allocation. The callback
has to restore it afterwards of course.

Hmph, what's the quote around 'without' doing there?

because it's only true if you haven't used up all preallocated space
in strbuf. If someone passes an empty strbuf, then underneath strbuf
may do a few realloc until the buffer is large enough.
