I think so. It fixes the segfault with long paths on Windows as well
(Tested-by: <me>), uses strbuf APIs as Peff suggested, and initializes the
strbuf with PATH_MAX (i.e. no reallocs in the common case either ;-) ).

AFAICT the first two patches of that series are also completely unrelated
to the untracked-cache, so we may want to fast-track these?

[01/20] dir.c: coding style fix
[02/20] dir.h: move struct exclude declaration to top level
[03/20] prep_exclude: remove the artificial PATH_MAX limit

...perhaps with s/if (!dir->basebuf.alloc)/if (!dir->basebuf.buf)/

@Duy any reason for not signing off that series?
