I actually looked into that during the conversion in patch 2/7. I didn't
want to just return ent->data, because there are actually several bits
of information to "rescue" from the entry. So it looks more like:
char *data = detach_delta_base_cache_entry(ent, NULL, NULL);
free(data);
here, and
data = detach_delta_base_cache_entry(ent, &type, &size);
in unpack_entry().
That is not too bad, I guess. I can switch it if you prefer that way.
Since there are only these two callers with two different sets of needs
(and the function is static), I just let them continue inspecting the
elements directly.
