I have to check checkout-cache.c, but assuming that you start
from an already populated work tree with a valid cache when you
do the git-read-tree at the third line from the last, using
"git-read-tree -m HEAD" (you do not need to say $(cat .git/HEAD)
in the modern git anymore) would be a good place to start.

Also the modern git-checkout-cache has a '-u' option and with it
you should not need 'git-update-cache --refresh' after that.

Let me know if you have any problems.  Single tree '-m' is what
Linus did and '-u' option to git-checkout-cache is mine.
