[PATCH v2 0/4] Speed up unpack_trees()

["Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy" <pclouds@gmail.com>]

This series speeds up unpack_trees() a bit by using cache-tree.
unpack-trees could bit split in three big parts

- the actual tree unpacking and running n-way merging
- update worktree, which could be expensive depending on how much I/O
  is involved
- repair cache-tree

This series focuses on the first part alone and could give 700%
speedup (best case possible scenario, real life ones probably not that
impressive).

It also shows that the reparing cache-tree is kinda expensive. I have
an idea of reusing cache-tree from the original index, but I'll leave
that to Ben or others to try out and see if it helps at all.

v2 fixes the comments from Junio, adds more performance tracing and
reduces the cost of adding index entries.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (4):
  unpack-trees.c: add performance tracing
  unpack-trees: optimize walking same trees with cache-tree
  unpack-trees: reduce malloc in cache-tree walk
  unpack-trees: cheaper index update when walking by cache-tree
