Subject: [PATCH 01/27] *: remove 'const' qualifier for struct index_state

From: "Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2021 21:16:49 +0000

From: Derrick Stolee <[email-masked]>

Several methods specify that they take a 'struct index_state' pointer
with the 'const' qualifier because they intend to only query the data,
not change it. However, we will be introducing a step very low in the
method stack that might modify a sparse-index to become a full index in
the case that our queries venture inside a sparse-directory entry.

This change only removes the 'const' qualifiers that are necessary for
the following change which will actually modify the implementation of
index_name_stage_pos().
