Hi, previous rounds (without api) are at $gmane/202752, $gmane/202923, $gmane/203088 and $gmane/203517, the previous round with api was at $gmane/229732. Thanks to Junio, Duy and Eric for their comments on the previous round. Changes since the previous round: Add documentation for the index reading api (was sent later in the previous series as 5.5/22). read-cache: add index reading api - Remove the next_ce pointer, and use index_state->cache[] as part of the api, making a few functions unnecessary (next_index_entry, get_index_entry_by_name, sort_index). Those were removed. - Replace const char **pathspec with const struct pathspec - remove the index_change_filter_opts function. For better performance the caller should make up its mind before reading anything which part of the index file should be read. Changing the filter_opts later makes us read part of the index again, which is sub-optimal. - set the filter_opts to NULL when discarding the cache. - discussed and didn't change: replacing the pathspec with tree_entry_interesting doesn't work well. Using common_prefix() to calculate the adjusted_pathspec would work, but has some disadvantages when glob is used in the pathspec. make sure partially read index is not changed - instead of using the index_change_filter_opts function to set the filter_opts to NULL before changing the index, die() when the caller tries that. - use filter_opts to check if the index was partially read instead of an extra flag. - die() when trying to re-read a partially read index. patches (6,7,8,9,12/22) were removed, as they are no longer needed when keeping index_state->cache[] as part of the api. ls-files: use index api - only use the new api for loading the filtered index, but don't use the for_each_index_entry function, as it would need to change the filter_opts after reading the index. That will be made obsolete by a series that Duy has cooking [1], after which the loops can be switched out by using for_each_index_entry. Other than that, the typos found by Eric were fixed.
