To recap from v1's cover letter:

Running tests with GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=1 is supposed to turn on the
split index feature and trigger index splitting (mostly) randomly.
Alas, this has been broken for ~2.5 years, and it hasn't triggered any
index splitting since then.

The last patch in this series makes GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=1 work again,
although it slightly changes its behavior; see its log message for all
the details.

I checked the range-diff and reread the patches. This version looks
good to me. Thanks for pointing out the new failures that were
happening in my patches. I think I fixed them in my latest versions
of the sparse-index work, so the latest 'seen' should pass with these
changes to GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX.

Thanks,

This, at least the t7519-status-fsmonitor.sh part, seems to depend
on the 'ds/sparse-index-ignored-files' topic, so I'll prepare a
merge of the topic on top of 'master' then queue these with your
Acked-by.

Thanks, both.
