Hmmm, if you read_tree() into the_index upfront and do not change anything else to the archive.c code, shouldn't it work without such a regression at all? Am I missing something? It would allow you to export the index into an archive, but I doubt it is worth the amount of code churn. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
