The read_tree() function is called only from the call chain to run "git diff --cached" (this includes the internal call made by git-runstatus to run_diff_index()). The function vacates stage without any funky "merge" magic. The caller then goes and compares stage #1 entries from the tree with stage #0 entries from the original index. When adding the cache entries this way, it used the general purpose add_cache_entry(). This function looks for an existing entry to replace or if there is none to find where to insert the new entry, resolves D/F conflict and all the other things. For the purpose of reading entries into an empty stage, none of that processing is needed. We can instead append everything and then sort the result at the end. This commit changes read_tree() to first make sure that there is no existing cache entries at specified stage, and if that is the case, it runs add_cache_entry() with ADD_CACHE_JUST_APPEND flag (new), and then sort the resulting cache using qsort(). This new flag tells add_cache_entry() to omit all the checks such as "Does this path already exist? Does adding this path remove other existing entries because it turns a directory to a file?" and instead append the given cache entry straight at the end of the active cache. The caller of course is expected to sort the resulting cache at the end before using the result. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
