+UpstreamStatus: Inappropriate
+
+This patch fixes populated dosfs image creation with directory 
+structures. Earlier it was causing segfault; and only image 
+population with no subdirectories was working.
+
+Issues fixed:
+1. (dir->count == dir->entries) check was only needed for root 
+   directory entries. And this check is wrong for non-root 
+   directories.
+2. For each dir entry 2 dir->table entries were needed, one for 
+   the file/dir and 2nd for long file name support. Earlier long
+   name support was added for filenames but the 2nd entry 
+   allocation, initialization & counting was missed.
+3. The memory clearing was missed at the code path after dir->table 
+   memroy allocation.
+
+Enhancements:
+1. Added support for long names for directory names. This is same
+   as the existing long name support for filenames.
+2. Added error messages for previously silent memory allocation and 
+   other errors.
+3. -d options does not work correctly with fat32, so now throwing 
+   an error for that.

++   Enhanced the -d <directory> support for population of image while
++   creation. Earlier subdirectores support was broken, only files in
++   the rootdir were supported. Now directory hirarchy is supported.
++   Also added long filename support to directory names.
++     The -d <directory> option (image population while creation)
++   is broken with fat32.
