check, which can be useful when the repository arranges to ensure
connectivity by some other means.

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------
do not pass the leak checker tests, as they should no longer be
needed.
+ * When a stale .midx file refers to .pack files that no longer exist,
+ we ended up checking for these non-existent files repeatedly, which
+ has been optimized by memoizing the non-existence.

Fixes since v2.49
-----------------
expand sparse-index while working.
(merge ecf9ba20e3 ds/sparse-apply-add-p later to maint).
+ * Avoid adding directory path to a sparse-index tree entries to the
+ name-hash, since they would bloat the hashtable without anybody
+ querying for them. This was done already for a single threaded
+ part of the code, but now the multi-threaded code also does the
+ same.
+ (merge 2e60aabc75 am/sparse-index-name-hash-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Recent versions of Perl started warning against "! A =~ /pattern/"
+ which does not negate the result of the matching. As it turns out
+ that the problematic function is not even called, it was removed.
+ (merge 67cae845d2 op/cvsserver-perl-warning later to maint).
+
+ * "git apply --index/--cached" when applying a deletion patch in
+ reverse failed to give the mode bits of the path "removed" by the
+ patch to the file it creates, which has been corrected.
+
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
