entr_repo(..., 0) currently modifies the input to strip away trailing slashes. This means that we some times need to copy the input to keep the original.

Change it to unconditionally copy it into the used_path buffer so we can safely use the input without having to copy it. Also store a working copy in validated_path up-front before we start resolving anything.

This is Erik Faye-Lund's patch with some minor cleanup by me.  I sent
this to the list earlier today for Erik, but I'm including it here
again as part of this series.  Not sure what the etiquette is on this,
but this way seemed safest.

Corrupt and unappliable patch.

Do not write two statements on a single line; extra SP before ';'.
