The unpack_trees() API used in checking out a branch and merging
walks one or more trees along with the index.  When the cache-tree
in the index tells us that we are walking a tree whose flattened
contents is known (i.e. matches a span in the index), as linearly
scanning a span in the index is much more efficient than having to
open tree objects recursively and listing their entries, the walk
can be optimized, which is done in this topic.
