[PATCH v8 00/11] Untracked cache improvements

Here is a new version of a patch series to improve the untracked cache feature.

This v8 implements core.untrackedCache as a tristate config variable. When it's `true`, Git commands, especially `git status`, should always add the untracked cache and use it, and when `false`, Git commands should remove it. The default is `keep` in which case the untracked cache is neither removed nor added, and used if it is there.

This v8 is mostly identical to the previous v7. Only patch 9/11, which adds core.untrackedCache, has one change.

Patch 1/11 is a small bugfix.

Patch 2/11 to 4/11 add some small features that are missing.

Patchs 5/11 to 7/11 are some refactoring to prepare for the following patchs.

Patch 8/11 deals with the "ident" field in "struct untracked_cache".

Patch 9/11 adds core.untrackedCache. As Junio suggested, the check to see if we should add or remove the untracked cache is now made inside a new tweak_untracked_cache() function which is called by the new post_read_index_from() function after it calls check_ce_order().

Patch 10/11 is a hack that is needed to have test-dump-untracked-cache work like it used to.

Patch 11/11 contains tests.

The patch series is also available there:
