BTW, one oddity I noticed in the existing code:

Under what circumstances will "allowed" be NULL in that ternary? I think if git_config_pathname() returns non-zero, then we called interpolate_path(). It can return NULL, but in that case git_config_pathname() will die(). We might change that later, but then I'd expect it to return non-zero. So I suspect the whole "check" variable could just be dropped in favor of using "allowed".

Obviously not new in your patch, but maybe worth fixing while in the area? I think it comes from an evil merge in b8bdb2f283 (Merge branch 'jc/safe-directory-leading-path', 2024-06-12).
