Let's fix the style issue while at it, as we are doing other changes

OK.

OK, now the "mode" is sort of "encoded" already in the "name" by the
slash at the end, the way "ignore-mode" works needs to be redesigned.

If we are ignoring mode, we are dropping the trailing '/' and
otherwise we just feed the name with possible trailing '/', and the
same name_compare() can be used.  OK.

And here is the matching adjustment for the dedup comparison, which
makes sense.

This is only to append; presumably the caller drives this function

Hmph.  Are we doing any run-time verification of what we produce
(e.g., if sort_and_dedup_tree_entry_array() fails to dedup or sort
correctly due to a bug or two, would cache_tree_update() notice that
the in-core index array is fishy)?  I am not suggesting to add an
unconditional "we appended to the index, so we should sort the
entries in it" step before cache_tree_update() call.  It is the
opposite---if we have extra checks in cache_tree_udpate() to slow us
down and if we are confident that the loop that added tree entries
to the index is correct, if we can bypass such checks.

This is the gem of the whole series.  Clever.

What is so satisfying is that it takes not that much of code to
replace the "here is a flat buffer of what the contents of a single
tree object ought to look like" with "let's build in-core index and
write it out just like write-tree would".  Nice.
