I think I saw you tried to lift an assumption that we're always
working on the_index in a separate patch recently. Should that
logic apply also to this part of the codebase? IOW, shouldn't
index_has_changes() take a pointer to istate (as opposed to a
function that uses the implicit the_index that should be named as
"cache_has_changes()" or something?)
I tend to think this function as part of the larger read-cache.c
family whose definitions are in cache.h and accompanied by macros
that are protected by NO_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS so if we
were to move it elsewhere, I'd keep the header part as-is and
implementation to read-cache.c to keep it together with the family,
but I do not see a huge issue with the current placement, either.
