From: Victoria Dye <redacted>

Enable the 'skip_cache_tree_update' option in the variants that call
'prime_cache_tree()' after 'unpack_trees()' (specifically, 'git reset
--mixed' and 'git reset --hard'). This avoids redundantly rebuilding the
cache tree in both 'cache_tree_update()' at the end of 'unpack_trees()' and
in 'prime_cache_tree()', resulting in a small (but consistent) performance
improvement. From the newly-added 'p7102-reset.sh' test:

Test                         before            after
--------------------------------------------------------------------
7102.1: reset --hard (...)   2.11(0.40+1.54)   1.97(0.38+1.47) -6.6%
