```
When git checkout checks out a branch, create or update the
cache-tree so that subsequent operations are faster.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] test-dump-cache-tree: Improve output format and exit code

```
Make test-dump-cache-tree more useful for testing.  Do not treat known
invalid trees as errors (and do not produce non-zero exit code),
because we can fall back to the non-cache-tree codepath.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] cache-tree: Write index with updated cache-tree after commit
Message-ID: <1404242075-7068-3-git-send-email-dturner@twitter.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1404242075-7068-3-git-send-email-dturner%40twitter.com
In-Reply-To: <1404242075-7068-1-git-send-email-dturner@twitter.com>

```
During the commit process, the cache-tree is updated. We need to write
this updated cache-tree so that it's ready for subsequent commands.

Add test code which demonstrates that git commit now writes the cache
tree.  Also demonstrate that cache-tree invalidation is correct.

Could you number your patches e.g. [PATCH v4 1/3] and/or summarize
below the three-dash line what got updated since the last round?
The readers can guess without when one is sending a reroll every
other day or less frequently, but with rerolls more often than that,
it gets unwieldy to check which points raised during the review have
been addressed.

Thanks.

Under-explained.  "more useful" is subjective so I won't complain
about it being not explained enough, but I cannot quite parse and
understand the second sentence.

It is not "we treat known invalid trees as errors".  I think what
you meant is "we insist that a cache-tree entry, even if it is an
invalidated one, must record the correct number of subtrees and
signal errors otherwise, which is wrong".

I honestly cannot guess what you meant to say by "because we can
...".

I am guessing this is related to the "more useful", but I cannot
offhand tell what this output shuffling is about.  It would be
better to illustrate in the log message to support the "more useful"
claim by showing how improved/readable the output got with this
change.

Unfortunately this is not quite what we would want; this "#(ref)"
output is so that we can see what tree object we should be referring
to, while debugging, if this entry were not invalidated; losing that
does not "Improve output"---it loses information from the output.

I am guessing that this is the change you did not explain quite
enough with "do not treat ... as errors".  This code expects that
even an invalidated cache-tree entry knows how many subtrees it has,
which is unreasonable.  I do not recall offhand if we used to have
some code to ensure that such an invariant holds or not, but when
invalidating a directory (say "t/") by adding a new subdirectory and
a new file in it (e.g. "t/dir/file") to the index, we do not do
anything other than to invalidate "t/" and "t/dir/", and I do not
think the codepath recounts the number of subdirectories to adjust
subtree_nr in any way to match the reality, so removal of this check
is the right thing to do.

OK, interactive-add may leave the cache-tree not quite populated;
we are going to write out a tree from the cache so we need to update
the in-core cache tree anyway, so calling update-main-cache-tree
here would not hurt (it will speed up the write-cache-as-tree we
will eventually call).

We might want to see if we are really changing anything, though.
What happens if the interactive-add gave us an index with fully
valid cache-tree?  Is that rare enough not to matter (not a
rhetorical question)?

How about doing this part like the following instead, so that we can
avoid the overhead of uselessly rewriting the index file when we do
not have to?

diff --git a/builtin/commit.c b/builtin/commit.c
index 5e2221c..7d730a5 100644
--- a/builtin/commit.c
+++ b/builtin/commit.c

It makes me wonder if we should teach update_main_cache_tree() to
somehow smudge active_cache_changed bit as necessary.  Then we do
not have to make the call to update-main-cache-tree conditional.

This is the index that will be used after we create the commit
(which will be created from a temporary index that will be discarded
immediately after we create the commit).  As we _know_ we are
changing something in this code path by calling add_remote_files(),
it is fine to call update-main-cache-tree here unconditionally.

I didn't notice it when I gave the previous review comment but while
reviewing this round, we already do the cache-tree population for
"commit -a" in this function, which suggests me that it is the right
place to do these changes.  Modulo minor niggles, I like this
iteration much better than the previous one.

Thanks for working on this.

Thanks for all your comments.  I'll send out a v4 when I can, but I
probably won't have more time to work on this until next week.
