We handled the case of removing and re-inserting cache entries badly, which is something that merging commonly needs to do (removing the different stages, and then re-inserting one of them as the merged state). We even had a rather ugly special case for this failure case, where replace_index_entry() basically turned itself into a no-op if the new and the old entries were the same, exactly because the hash routines didn't handle it on their own. So what this patch does is to not just have the UNHASHED bit, but a HASHED bit too, and when you insert an entry into the name hash, that involves: - clear the UNHASHED bit, because now it's valid again for lookup (which is really all that UNHASHED meant) - if we're being lazy, we're done here (but we still want to clear the UNHASHED bit regardless of lazy mode, since we can become unlazy later, and so we need the UNHASHED bit to always be set correctly, even if we never actually insert the entry into the hash list) - if it was already hashed, we just leave it on the list - otherwise mark it HASHED and insert it into the list this all means that unhashing and rehashing a name all just works automatically. Obviously, you cannot change the name of an entry (that would be a serious bug), but nothing can validly do that anyway (you'd have to allocate a new struct cache_entry anyway since the name length could change), so that's not a new limitation. The code actually gets simpler in many ways, although the lazy hashing does mean that there are a few odd cases (ie something can be marked unhashed even though it was never on the hash in the first place, and isn't actually marked hashed!).

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 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. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. 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.
