I notice that "path" is not used at all, and other users of this string list do not even bother using a variable, i.e.

	if (!unsorted_string_list_lookup(&changed_submodule_paths, ...))
In fact, it might be even better to use a hashmap for this instead?

The call to string_list_clear() onthis list tells it to free the util field, and I went to see what we are storing in the util field, but it seems that it is freeing NULLs, which is somewhat misleading and time-wasting on the code readers. Using hashmap may also clear this up.

But all of the above are not within the scope of this topic ;-)
