Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dir: simplify fill_directory()

From: René Scharfe <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 11 May 2012 16:59:25 +0200

Now that read_directory_recursive() (reached through read_directory())
respects the string length limit we provide, we don't need to create a
NUL-limited copy of the common prefix anymore.
