I am not sure either. I've always considered that entry.c is the
libified thing codepath that want to do a "checkout" should call,
but the functions that you are moving is at a "higher layer" that
does not concern the core-git data structures (i.e. the 'tracking'
is a mere "user" of the ref API, unlike things in entry.c such as
checkout_entry() that is a more "maintainer" of the index integrity),
so perhaps it makes sense to have new file for it.

This one is useful ;-)

Try "git grep -e git-compat-util Documentation/CodingGuidelines" and
just keep inclusion of "cache.h".
