Given that even having one index between the committed history and the working tree files seems to add cognitive load to new users, I am not very enthused to hear that we may be able to add an arbitrary number of them, and more importantly, I don't quite see what real world problems the additional complexities (most of them are probably not accounted for in the sketch we saw and yet to be discovered) are solving. But I'll wait before sending this response for a few days and keep it in my outbox.
