Actually there still is one more thing I wasn't clear about the
change.

When an attribute file is removed by a patch, we should forget what
we read earlier from the file before it got removed. Would such a
case, where patch->new_name would be NULL, be handled correctly?
The call to ends_with_path_components() is almost no cost, and I
would suspect that this call is easier to reason about without the
"!flush_attributes &&" in the conditional part, by the way.
Thanks.
