This is a fix for the following bug: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/245946/focus=245965 I added 2 functions: verify_index_from and verify_index. They return 1 if the sha1 is correct, otherwise 0. I choose to not die if any errors are occurred because we just want to not proceed to "opportunistic update". Some questions: 1) Is it better to have these functions as static? 2) If the answer of (1) is no, should I define verify_cache*() also? 3) If something goes wrong in verify_hdr(), it will print an error message, should I make a "quietly" version of it?
