This series provides a replacement for the git read-tree -mu HEAD-based

I'm excited to dig into this change! I'm pleasantly surprised you have
something ready so soon after we talked about it at the summit.

Consider the series RFC for now; I probably need to add some tests, get some
people at work who are willing to test it in real cases, and get some
community feedback particularly on the choices/comments highlighted in the
commit message to patch 5. But it's at least basically functional so I
wanted to send it out to the community for feedback.

Count me in for testing and reviewing. Just expect me to be a little
slow this week as I'll likely be juggling work time with kid time as
things shut down. I'm very excited for this feature, and I'll try to
help as much as I can.

Thanks,
