Shouldn't we go one step futher and make the bulk of in-core index
processing into a new helper function, while making
write_index_as_tree() a thin-wrapper around it, i.e.
write_index_as_tree()
{
lock the index for update;
read the on-disk index;
call that new helper function to write a tree;
update the on-disk index;
}
and reuse the helper from
merge-recursive.c::write_tree_from_memory() while keeping the call
to the latter in merge_trees_internal()? Wouldn't that approach
let you do this without adding an extra flag bit?
Also, there used to be a check to ensure that the in-core index fed
to write_tree_from_memory() is fully merged and otherwise dump the
unmerged entries with BUG(). Can we simply lose it? I know you
return with "error building trees" from merge_trees_internal() but
it does not BUG().
