attr: don't confuse prefixes with leading directories
When we prepare the attribute stack for a lookup on a path, we start with the cached stack from the previous lookup (because it is common to do several lookups in the same directory hierarchy). So the first thing we must do in preparing the stack is to pop any entries that point to directories we are no longer interested in. For example, if our stack contains gitattributes for: foo/bar/baz foo/bar foo but we want to do a lookup in "foo/bar/bleep", then we want to pop the top element, but retain the others. To do this we walk down the stack from the top, popping elements that do not match our lookup directory. However, the test do this simply checked strncmp, meaning we would mistake "foo/bar/baz" as a leading directory of "foo/bar/baz_plus". We must also check that the character after our match is '/', meaning we matched the whole path component. There are two special cases to consider: 1. The top of our attr stack has the empty path. So we must not check for '/', but rather special-case the empty path, which always matches. 2. Typically when matching paths in this way, you would also need to check for a full string match (i.e., the character after is '\0'). We don't need to do so in this case, though, because our path string is actually just the directory component of the path to a file (i.e., we know that it terminates with "/", because the filename comes after that).
