Before going in any direction, other than doing nothing ;-), we'd
need to see how expensive "prime" and "update" are.
Having said that.
* Your idea is quite beneficial for callers of unpack_trees() as
they no longer have to decide whether they want to make a
separate call to "prime".
* Right now we do not seem to have a codepath that
(1) populates the index entries from existing trees (not
necessarily making the index in complete sync with the trees)
without unpack_trees() and
(2) does "prime" to fix the cache tree
but such a codepath may want to do either "prime" or "update", or
neither. When it knows that it damages cache-tree so badly, and
that it is often expected that the user would make many other
changes to the index before writing it out as a tree, it may
choose not to do either.
Thanks.
