I notice that "path" is not used at all, and other users of this
string list do not even bother using a variable, i.e.
if (!unsorted_string_list_lookup(&changed_submodule_paths, ...))
In fact, it might be even better to use a hashmap for this instead?
The call to string_list_clear() onthis list tells it to free the
util field, and I went to see what we are storing in the util field,
but it seems that it is freeing NULLs, which is somewhat misleading
and time-wasting on the code readers. Using hashmap may also clear
this up.
But all of the above are not within the scope of this topic ;-)
