    Index locking and entry allocation changes This makes the lock management on the index a little bit broader, having a number of routines hold the lock across looking up the item to be modified and actually making the modification. Still not true thread safety, but more pure index modifications are now safe which allows the simple cases (such as starting up a diff while index modifications are underway) safe enough to get the snapshot without hitting allocation problems. As part of this, I simplified the allocation of index entries to use a flex array and just put the path at the end of the index entry. This makes every entry self-contained and makes it a little easier to feel sure that pointers to strings aren't being accidentally copied and freed while other references are still being held.
