Sort of. The original took a (ptr,size_t) pair in the form of "base",
and then also a (ptr,int) path. That matches what the caller has:
"pathlen" comes from tree_entry(), which returns an int (it should
probably become a size_t in the long run, but it has a lot of ripple
effects if you change it).

Now the caller handles path/pathlen itself here:

So there is nothing left to pass in except a (ptr,size_t) pair. We could
have continued passing those in as a strbuf, but calling it "base"
doesn't make sense any more.

The "int" is still there, but it just stays in the caller. In the
original it becomes a size_t via passing to combine_diff_path_size(). In
the new code, it happens when we feed it to strbuf_add().
