settings: optional unsaved index safety · bfa1f022
Add the `GIT_OPT_ENABLE_UNSAVED_INDEX_SAFETY` option, which will cause commands that reload the on-disk index to fail if the current `git_index` has changed that have not been saved. This will prevent users from - for example - adding a file to the index then calling a function like `git_checkout` and having that file be silently removed from the index since it was re-read from disk. Now calls that would re-read the index will fail if the index is "dirty", meaning changes have been made to it but have not been written. Users can either `git_index_read` to discard those changes explicitly, or `git_index_write` to write them.
