Re: [RFC/PATCH 6/8] config: add core.untrackedCache

>> Current state of affairs:
>>
>>  * Enable on a per-repo basis: git update-index --untracked-cache
>>  * Disable on a per-repo basis: git update-index --no-cache
>>  * Enable system-wide: N/A
>>  * Disable system-wide: N/A
>>
>> With this patch:
>>
>>  * Enable on a per-repo basis: git update-index --untracked-cache OR
>> "git config core.untrackedCache true"
>>  * Disable on a per-repo basis: git update-index --no-cache OR "git
>> config core.untrackedCache false"
>>  * Enable system-wide: git config --global core.untrackedCache true
>>  * Disable system-wide: git config --global core.untrackedCache false
>>  * Caveat: The core.untrackedCache config has precidence over "git update-index"
>>
>> With the rest of the patches in this series:
>>
>>  * Enable system-wide & per-repo the same, just tweak
>> core.untrackedCache either for the local .git or --globally
>>  * If you want to test things either per-repo or globally just use
>> "git update-index --test-untracked-cache"
>>  * If you want something exactly like the old --untracked-cache do:
>> "git update-index --test-untracked-cache && git config
>> core.untrackedCache true"
