Subject: Fastpath the normal case by not checking that index matches HEAD.
X-Git-Tag: v0.99.8~35
X-Git-Url: https://git.verplant.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=60fa056052b8233c22098a711ab780679d0c5b7e;p=git.git

Fastpath the normal case by not checking that index matches HEAD.

The merge strategy would check this itself and typically does it
by using git-read-tree -m -u 3-way merge.
