However, I offer some "base tarballs" which have the unpacked source as well as the .git directory, and I think you want the index there. Of course you can always regenerate it by read-tree $(tree-id) but I really don't want to (hey, dwmw got away with that too! ;-). It forces an additional out-of-order step you need to do before making use of your git for the first time. The NFS argument obviously seems perfectly valid to me too. So, FWIW, I'm personally all for it, if someone gives me a patch. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ 98% of the time I am right.
