Oh, that's useful information!
For the above patch, were basically what Johannes Schindelin suggested:
 + add_cmdname() now uses ALLOC_GROW and has its lines reordered to be
   somewhat cleanre
 + uniq() has lost the curly brackets
 + s/subtract_cmds/exclude_cmds/
 + exclude_cmds() uses an arg name of "path" instead of "dir"
 + exclude_cmd() no longer renames "dir" to "dirp"
 + exclude_cmds() an earlier patch moved the "struct stat" declaration
   for no-longer relevant reasons. change removed.
