From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> When copying the `split_index` structure from one index structure to another, we need to propagate the `SPLIT_INDEX_ORDERED` flag, too, if it is set, otherwise Git might forget to write the shared index when that is actually needed. It just so _happens_ that in many instances when `unpack_trees()` is called, the result causes the shared index to be written anyway, but there are edge cases when that is not so.
