[PATCH v3 1/2] write_entry(): fix misuses of `path` in error messages

[Matheus Tavares <matheus.bernardino@usp.br>]

The variables `path` and `ce->name`, at write_entry(), usually have the
same contents, but that's not the case when using a checkout prefix or
writing to a tempfile. (In fact, `path` will be either empty or dirty
when writing to a tempfile.) Therefore, these variables cannot be used
interchangeably. In this sense, fix wrong uses of `path` in error
messages where it should really be `ce->name`, and add some regression
tests. (Note: there doesn't seem to be any misuse in the other way
around.)
