This unfortunately triggers
t/unit-tests/u-dir.c: In function 'test_dir__common_prefix_skips_excluded_pathspec_items':
t/unit-tests/u-dir.c:53:34: error: initialization discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
   53 |                         .match = "unrelated/path",
      |                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Other than that, looking good.
