Change the scope of the function 'directory_exists_in_index()' as well
as declare it in 'dir.h'.

Since the return type of the function is the enumerator 'exist_status',
change its scope as well and declare it in 'dir.h'. While at it, rename
the members of the aforementioned enum so as to avoid any naming clashes
or confusions later on.
This makes it sound as if only existing code was adjusted, in a minimal
way, but no new code was introduced. But that's not true:
I noticed it last night, too---I suspect it was a mistake made while
shuffling changes across steps with rebase -i.

Tons of new code there. And unfortunately...

This function is not careful enough to avoid buffer overruns. It even
triggers a segmentation fault in our test suite:

I notice that len is not used at all ;-)

I need this to make it pass (only tested locally so far, but I trust you
to take the baton from here):

Subject: [PATCH] fixup??? dir: change the scope of function
 'directory_exists_in_index()'

This fixes the segmentation fault reported in the linux-musl job of our
CI builds. Valgrind has this to say about it:
