Your patch looks good too. Ok, the strategy part is now behind us, but I have this slight suspicion (I didn't look at the code nor tried it out myself---I don't have time to do this myself today) that using this codepath might result in a corrupt cache-tree, whose entries point at a section of the index it covers as a subtree of the whole project but with incorrect counters or something like that. It would be good to make sure this "just ignoring i-t-a" is doing the right thing not to the resulting commit, but in the resulting index as well, before we go forward with this change. -- 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
