[PATCH 1/2] write_entry(): fix misuses of `path` in error messages

From
Matheus Tavares <matheus.bernardino@usp.br>
Date

Message-ID
<d52bcad326ece6be2fcf87ca6b72e4ce8212e31f.1612812581.git.matheus.bernardino@usp.br>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1612812581.git.matheus.bernardino@usp.br>

The variables `path` and `ce->name`, at write_entry(), usually have the same contents, but that's not the case when using a checkout prefix or writing to a tempfile. (In fact, `path` will be either empty or dirty when writing to a tempfile.) Therefore, these variables cannot be used interchangeably. In this sense, fix wrong uses of `path` in error messages where it should really be `ce->name`. (There doesn't seem to be any misuse in the other way around.)
