Nitpick: If you already know that c != '\0' and !is_dir_sep(c), then why do
continue? It will check for '\0' and is_dir_sep(c) again, but you already
know that both ifs will be false. So you could just as easy jump straight to
c = *path++, which IMHO also makes the code easier to follow:
diff --git a/read-cache.c b/read-cache.c
index 68faa51..089cd3e 100644
