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.
