Re: Remove diff machinery dependency from read-cache

The patch itself to move add_files_to_cache() to builtin-add.c (or to its

shrink the on-disk footprint, isn't an alternative approach be to make
hash-object built-in?  You can lose the whole 1.7M from the filesystem
footprint that way, no?

Sure. Except, as I mentioned, it's not just git-hash-object. It's _all_ of 
them.

The total space savings wasn't 1.7M, it was 12M.
