Adds one item to "Light reading" in the edition 140 draft: an article on reading a repository's status straight from
.git(HEAD, refs and packed-refs, the binary index, pack.idxlookups and delta chains), and on using the index's cache-tree extension to skip reading HEAD's tree when nothing is staged. It also lists what the reader doesn't handle and how it is tested against the realgitbinary.Disclosure: I wrote the article, and it describes the internals of GitMon, a paid macOS menu bar app I make. The app is only mentioned in the closing paragraph. Please edit the wording freely or drop the entry if it doesn't fit the edition.
