Yes, definitely.  (At least) Two things before it's ready to advance:
  1) Either the last commit needs to be squashed down, or if it's
wrong, the code modified to handle the untracked-cache bits correctly.
I'm hoping someone who's familiar with the untracked-cache (or even
the index format) can sanity check this piece or even just provide a
pointer or two about its purpose, design, etc.
  2) This is a somewhat significant change to how fill_directory()
works, and it's very hard to be confident that nothing is broken by
it.  See the commit message of the second to last commit.  I would
really appreciate another pair of eyes.

If no one responds within a week or so with pointers on the
untracked-cache, then I'll dig back in and try to figure out what I
can.  I'm not sure if anyone will review the general fill_directory()
stuff; we may just have to bite the bullet at some point by merging it
and then watch out for problems.  I'll at least look over it all once
again when I look at the untracked-cache stuff before submitting the
next re-roll.

I would like to give Phillip a bit more time for a final review since
he said he'd try to review v4, but it's also been a few weeks and I
don't want to delay indefinitely.  So if he hasn't responded by your
next "What's cooking", I'll probably ask that we just merge it down to
next at that time.
