Thanks. This definitely should help make split index a lot more convenient for day-to-day use. The series looks ok (well, except the pruning logic being discussed elsewhere in this thread, but I still think it's a good strategy). > This can be valuable as split-index can help significantly speed up > `git rebase` especially along with the work to libify `git apply` > that has been recently merged to master > (see https://github.com/git/git/commit/81358dc238372793b1590efa149cc1581d1fbd98). I remember this. Since the apply libification work has landed, we can now think about not writing index out after every apply step, which gives the same (or more) speed up without the complication of split-index. But if split-index is good enough for you, we can leave it for another time. -- Duy
