Well, you can certainly just use the CE_VALID bit in the index too (and
this time I really mean CE_VALID). But it won't help anybody else, so it
wouldn't be nearly as interesting. And I wonder how badly that code has
rotted, thanks to not getting used.
But yes, one thing to do would be
git update-index --assume-unchanged --refresh
which should hopefully set the bit, and then after that setting
'core.ignoreStat' should hopefully keep it set.
Of course, you had then better _never_ make any mistakes and touch the
files with non-git commands.
even with this a git checkout -f should replace all files, correct?

And hope that the code still works ;)
