Way back in read-tree.c, we used a mode 0 cache entry to indicate that an entry had been deleted, so that the update code would remove the working tree file, and we would just skip it when writing out the index file afterward. These days, unpack_trees is a library function, and it is still leaving these entries in the active cache. Furthermore, unpack_trees doesn't correctly ignore those entries, and who knows what other code wouldn't expect them to be there, but just isn't yet called after a call to unpack_trees. To avoid having other code trip over these entries, have check_updates() remove them after it removes the working tree files. While we're at it, make the loop more obvious and skip passing in globals to a static function with only one caller. Signed-off-by: Daniel Barkalow <redacted> --- It's likely that this should get merged in some way with Linus's series to handle the in-core index differently in general. But this is a simple solution to the problem that's sufficient for this particular series. unpack-trees.c | 16 +++++++++------- 1 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-)
