While looping over the index entries, when we see a higher level stage the first thing we do is allocate a combine_diff_path struct for it. But this can leak; if check_removed() returns an error, we'll continue to the next iteration of the loop without cleaning up. We can fix this by just delaying the allocation by a few lines. I don't think this leak is triggered in the test suite, but it's pretty easy to see by inspection. My ulterior motive here is that the delayed allocation means we have all of the data needed to initialize "dpath" at the time of malloc, making it easier to factor out a constructor function.
