Subject: [PATCH 01/24] diff.c: move read_index() code back to the caller

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2018 18:14:18 +0200

This code is only needed for diff-tree (since f0c6b2a2fd ([PATCH]
Optimize diff-tree -[CM] --stdin - 2005-05-27)). Let the caller do the
preparation instead and avoid read_index() in diff.c code.

read_index() should be avoided (in addition to the_index) because it
uses get_index_file() underneath to get the path $GIT_DIR/index. This
effectively pulls the_repository in and may become the only reason to
pull a 'struct repository *' in diff.c. Let's keep the dependencies as
few as possible and kick it back to diff-tree.c
