I have to admit that I don't clearly understand all the index entry intricacies. It is good you didn't see my earlier misguided attempts. :-) I have patched the two mistakes you pointed out. It is too bad I cannot simply use existing functions for this, but I want to keep a different set of traits that either copy_cache_entry() or create_ce_flags() assumes.

Oh. Well, you sounded agitated in your original mail, but this actually just slipped through. :-)

I want to make sure the whole index entry is intact, not just the sha1.
