Thanks for your answer, so I would probably implement a tree based structure.
However I got one more question, since I'm not yet really familiar with the
code and internal structure of git, what exactly does the SHA1 over the
index exactly achieve? Is it only for checking if the index is still correct
for the next time it is used and has not been changed or is there a more
important function of it?
