[PATCH 8/8] read-cache: inform the daemon that the index has been updated

From
Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com>
Date
May 13, 2014, 11:15 UTC
Message-ID
<1399979737-8577-11-git-send-email-pclouds@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<1399979737-8577-1-git-send-email-pclouds@gmail.com>

The daemon would immediately load the new index in memory in background. Next time Git needs to read the index again, everything is ready.
