I'll fix it in v2.

Yes, this is intentional.
Essentially, the "Hint" concept is to reduce the next seek cost with minimal cost.
There is a difference in the position of the hint, but the concept is the same.
As you can see, the patched code strategy doesn't move from current position.
Basically, the original code strategy is advancing only one dentry.(It's the "minimum cost")
However, when it reaches the cluster boundary, it gets the next cluster and error handling.
Getting the next cluster The error handling already exists at the end of the while loop,
so the code is duplicated.
These costs should be paid next time and are no longer the "minimum cost".

Should I add this to the commit-message?
