Yeah, what you said is all correct. I just misread "... this patch using the path ... instead of its name" to mean that the user-level interface is now keying off of a path, but that is not what you meant. You instead meant that the name is used as the key and it used as if it is a path in the previous round, but now it goes through name-to-path mapping.
