Depending upon the absence or presence of a trailing '/' on the incoming pathname, index_name_exists() checks either if a file is present in the index or if a directory is represented within the index. Each caller explicitly chooses the mode of operation by adding or removing a trailing '/' before invoking index_name_exists(). Since these two modes of operations are disjoint and have no code in common (one searches index_state.name_hash; the other dir_hash), they can be represented more naturally as distinct functions: one to search for a file, and one for a directory. Splitting index searching into two functions relieves callers of the artificial burden of having to add or remove a slash to select the mode of operation; instead they just call the desired function. A subsequent patch will take advantage of this benefit in order to eliminate the requirement that the incoming pathname for a directory search must have a trailing slash. (In order to avoid disturbing in-flight topics, index_name_exists() is retained as a thin wrapper dispatching either to index_dir_exists() or index_file_exists().)
