[PATCH v7 12/13] notes: track whether notes_trees were changed at all

From
Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch>
Date
Mar 12, 2010, 17:04 UTC
Message-ID
<1264c49974f992c4f7bc0a5fa72e01a8d1e6d18e.1268413246.git.trast@student.ethz.ch>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1268413246.git.trast@student.ethz.ch>

Currently, the notes copying is a bit wasteful since it always creates new trees, even if no notes were copied at all.

Teach add_note() and remove_note() to flag the affected notes tree as changed ('dirty'). Then teach builtin/notes.c to use this knowledge and avoid committing trees that weren't changed.
