True. After coming up with the pathname to the current patch file,
we are going to exit without ever calling am_path(), or underlying
get_pathname() via mkpath(), again before exiting anyway, so perhaps
it is sufficient to just do an am_path() just once upfront, feed it
to strbuf_read_file() and also to die_errno().
