When comparing the index and a tree, we used to read the contents of the tree into stage #1 of the index and compared them with stage #0. In order not to lose sight of entries originally unmerged in the index, we hoisted them to stage #3 before reading the tree. Commit d1f2d7e8 (Make run_diff_index() use unpack_trees(), not read_tree(), 2008-01-19) changed all this. These days, we instead use unpack_trees() API to traverse the tree and compare the contents with the index, without modifying the index at all. There is no reason to hoist the unmerged entries to stage #3 anymore. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
