[PATCH v2 2/5] unpack-trees: add 'skip_cache_tree_update' option

<b015a4f531c6f8f25f08c06dcdf3a9d709a00cd3.1668045438.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1411.v2.git.1668045438.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com>

Add (disabled by default) option to skip the 'cache_tree_update()' at the end of 'unpack_trees()'. In many cases, this cache tree update is redundant because the caller of 'unpack_trees()' immediately follows it with 'prime_cache_tree()', rebuilding the entire cache tree from scratch. While these operations aren't the most expensive part of operations like 'git reset', the duplicate calls still create a minor unnecessary slowdown.

Introduce an option for callers to skip the 'cache_tree_update()' in 'unpack_trees()' if it is redundant (that is, if 'prime_cache_tree()' is called afterwards). At the moment, no 'unpack_trees()' callers use the new option; they will be updated in subsequent patches.
