Only when we will iterate through more than one merge strategies,
local changes are stashed away before trying the first merge, and
restored before second and later merges are attempted.
The index file must be in sync with HEAD in any case -- otherwise the
merge result would contain changes since HEAD that was done locally

[PATCH] Add "git-update-ref" to update the HEAD (or other) ref
This is a careful version of the script stuff that currently just
blindly writes HEAD with a new value.
You can use
git-update-ref HEAD <newhead>
or
git-update-ref HEAD <newhead> <oldhead>
where the latter version verifies that the old value of HEAD matches
oldhead.
It basically allows a "ref" file to be a symbolic pointer to another ref
file by starting with the four-byte header sequence of "ref:".
More importantly, it allows the update of a ref file to follow these
symbolic pointers, whether they are symlinks or these "regular file
symbolic refs".
NOTE! It follows _real_ symlinks only if they start with "refs/":
otherwise it will just try to read them and update them as a regular file
(ie it will allow the filesystem to follow them, but will overwrite such a
symlink to somewhere else with a regular filename).
In general, using
git-update-ref HEAD "$head"
should be a _lot_ safer than doing
echo "$head" > "$GIT_DIR/HEAD"
both from a symlink following standpoint _and_ an error checking
standpoint. The "refs/" rule for symlinks means that symlinks that point
to "outside" the tree are safe: they'll be followed for reading but not
for writing (so we'll never write through a ref symlink to some other
tree, if you have copied a whole archive by creating a symlink tree).

[PATCH] fetch.c: Remove call to parse_object() from process()
The call to parse_object() in process() is not actually needed - if
the object type is unknown, parse_object() will be called by loop();
if the type is known, the object will be parsed by the appropriate
process_*() function.
After this change blobs which exist locally are no longer parsed,
which gives about 2x CPU usage improvement; the downside is that there
will be no warnings for existing corrupted blobs, but detecting such
corruption is the job of git-fsck-objects, not the fetch programs.
Newly fetched objects are still checked for corruption in http-fetch.c
