From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> When some commands run with command_requires_full_index=1, then the index can get in a state where the in-memory cache tree is actually equal to the sparse index's cache tree instead of the full one. This results in incorrect entry_count values. By clearing the cache tree before converting to sparse, we avoid this issue.
