`fill_tree_descriptor`::
- Initialize a `tree_desc` and decode its first entry given the sha1 of
- a tree. Returns the `buffer` member if the sha1 is a valid tree
- identifier and NULL otherwise.

`setup_traverse_info`::
Initialize a `traverse_info` given the pathname of the tree to start

- member of the `name_entry` being recursed into unless the tree is a
- top-level tree in which case the empty string ("") is used.

This utilizes the memory structure of a tree entry to avoid the
