When switching to another branch, the earlier code relied on incremental invalidation of cache-tree entries to degrade it. While it is not wrong per-se, we know that the resulting index must fully match the branch we are switching to unless the -m (merge) option is used. We should simply fully re-prime the cache-tree using the new tree object in such a case. And for safety, invalidate the cache-tree as a whole in other cases.
