Is this line removal intended?  It doesn't look related to the rest of
this patch.

It is, as &sb is re-used and has to be cleared first.
With the code above removed, &sb is unmodified since
struct strbuf sb = STRBUF_INIT; hence the removal is ok here.
It is related, but only when looking at the entirety of the code. :-/
