[PATCH] git-stash: try reusing cached stat info as much as possible

Junio C Hamano· Jul 8, 2007, 18:43 UTC · lore

Earlier when we read a tree into a temporary index, we read it from scratch. Start from the current index and use read-tree -m to preserve cached stat information as much as possible, in order to speed up "git add -u". This makes "git stash" usable in a source tree of nontrivial size.
