Re: Calculating tree nodes

In my scheme the path info is moved into the file object nodes and the

And how should this "SHA list" be any different from a single tree object, 
except that you now merge it with the commit object?

Really, go back to the mail Martin mentioned.  Having all objects in one 
list kills performance.

Diffing two trees in the scheme is quite fast. Just get their commit
objects into RAM and compare the lists of SHAs.

No, it is not fast.  Just loading the complete list into RAM is likely 
much, much slower than a simple diff _right_ _now_.
