Subject: Do not write out new index if nothing has changed.
X-Git-Tag: v0.99~634^2^3
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c4b83e618f1df7d8ecc9392fa40e5bebccbe6b5a;p=git.git

Do not write out new index if nothing has changed.

The git-update-cache command, especially with --refresh, may not change
anything.  In such a case, writing 1.6MB of the same thing is a waste.
