TL;DR you did it the right way, but I think maybe(?) you missed a spot with the
patch.

Fantastic news. I wouldn't say I felt that you were 'papering over' it, in fact
it was me who initially suggested (see comment 18) that a quick fix be put in
place before a more complete fix was done over time. You've done exactly that,
so I'm very pleased. It's not entirely clear to me though, but there may still
be one outstanding issue, please refer to comment 12  - the fault here was in
two parts; in brief, first that files were added recursively (which is
obviously fixed by this patch) and second, that non-existent items were not
removed. I'm not so sure that second part has been approached by this patch?
Please forgive me, I'm not sufficiently familiar with the codebase to be able
to be certain by looking at the patch, whether the cleanup is taken care of by
that new file and it's two functions, or whether they are only used to filter
additions to non-recursive entries.... but at a glance, it appears tha the
former is the case, and the removal of non-existent entries has not been
resolved by this patch.
