What
Taking a snapshot of your working tree now detects the case where everything is already clean and skips two git commands entirely, reusing the existing index instead. Repeated syncs on an untouched repo are faster.
Details
The --refresh and write-tree invocations are skipped when the clean condition holds.
The snapshot records the index tree it reused and whether the tree was clean.
