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.

Thanks.
