Test the current state of the cache-tree optimization
The cache-tree optimization originally helped speed up write-tree operation. However, many commands no longer properly maintain -- or use an opportunity to cheaply generate -- the cache-tree data. In particular, this affects commit, checkout and reset. The notable examples that *do* write cache-tree data are read-tree and write-tree. This sadly means most people no longer benefit from the optimization, as they would not normally use the plumbing commands. Document the current state of affairs in a test file, in preparation for improvements in the area. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
