That may not be a bad idea, indeed. > Untracked cache, split index and the last part (*) all aim at a > smaller user audience with large work trees.

Any project will get larger, not smaller, over time and these two (I am not sure what you refer to as 'last part', though) are meant to support projects with larger working trees better. After all, that is why I merged the untracked-cache series reasonably early to 'master' in this cycle to give us time to shake out little issues like this one. I think we killed two so far since it has been merged to 'master', so the plan is working rather nicely ;-).
