Aside from the lstat(2) done for work tree files, there are
quite many lstat(2) calls in refname dwimming codepath. This
patch is not about reducing them.
* It adds a new ce_flag, CE_UPTODATE, that is meant to mark the
cache entries that record a regular file blob that is up to
date in the work tree. If somebody later walks the index and
wants to see if the work tree has changes, they do not have
to be checked with lstat(2) again.
* fill_stat_cache_info() marks the cache entry it just added
with CE_UPTODATE. This has the effect of marking the paths
we write out of the index and lstat(2) immediately as "no
need to lstat -- we know it is up-to-date", from quite a lot
fo callers:
- git-apply --index
- git-update-index
- git-checkout-index
- git-add (uses add_file_to_index())
- git-commit (ditto)
- git-mv (ditto)
* refresh_cache_ent() also marks the cache entry that are clean
with CE_UPTODATE.
* write_index is changed not to write CE_UPTODATE out to the
index file, because CE_UPTODATE is meant to be transient only
in core. For the same reason, CE_UPDATE is not written to
prevent an accident from happening.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
