Optimize "diff-index --cached" using cache-tree
When running "diff-index --cached" after making a change to only a small portion of the index, there is no point unpacking unchanged subtrees into the index recursively, only to find that all entries match anyway. Tweak unpack_trees() logic that is used to read in the tree object to catch the case where the tree entry we are looking at matches the index as a whole by looking at the cache-tree. As an exercise, after modifying a few paths in the kernel tree, here are a few numbers on my Athlon 64X2 3800+: (without patch, hot cache) $ /usr/bin/time git diff --cached --raw :100644 100644 b57e1f5... e69de29...
