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? -- Thomas Gummerer -- 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
