A little bit of history: git was once called dircache.  cache.h is
practically speaking git.h, which is why it declares:

 - get_git_dir
 - ALLOC_GROW
 - zlib_compression_level
 - safe_crlf
 - mksnpath
 - git_pathdup
 - hashclr
 - validate_headref
 - peel_to_type
 - approxidate_careful
 - packed_git
 - path_match
 - fsync_or_die
 - setup_pager
 - checkout_fast_forward

to list a random assortment.  See "A birds-eye view of Git's source
code" in the user manual for more on this.
