Re: [PATCH 04/19] index-helper: new daemon for caching index and related stuff

Duy Nguyen [off-list ref] writes:

Another aspect that's not mentioned is, we keep this daemon's logic as
thin as possible. The "brain" stays in git. So the daemon can read and
validate stuff, but that's about all it's allowed to do. It's not
supposed to add/create new contents. It's not even allowed to accept
direct updates from git.

That explanation does make the intent clear. It is a kind of design
decision that needs to be made early and that is hard to change
later (I am not saying I see the need of changing, though), so it is
worth stating explicitly to guide future readers and updaters of the
code.

Thanks.
