Well.. why did you add NO_THE_INDEX_COMP... in the first place? ;-) j/k

I attempted the same thing once or twice in the past, had the same
impression and dropped it. But I think it's good to get rid of cache_*
macros, at least outside builtin/ directory. It makes it clearer about
the index dependency. Maybe one day we could libify sha1_file.c and
finally introduce "struct repository", where the_index, object db and
ref-store belong (hmm.. the index may belong to "struct worktree", not
the repo one...).
So yeah it may look a bit more verbose (and probably causes a lot more
conflicts on 'pu') but in my opinion it's a good direction. I wish
Stefan good luck. Brave soul :D
