From 5cd5ace72bf8944c920a20a7b98c82f7ed663d8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sat, 1 Oct 2005 13:39:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Re-instate index file write optimization This makes "git-update-index" avoid the new index file write if it didn't make any changes to the index. It still doesn't make things like "git status" be read-only operations in general, but if the index file doesn't need refreshing, it now will at least avoid making unnecessary changes.
