Fourth and hopefully final round of fixing occasional test failures when
run with 'GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=yes'. The only code change is the
extraction of a helper function to compare two cache entries' content,
and then a couple of minor log message clarifications. The range-diff
below is rather clear on that.
I will send a 7/6 follow-up patch shortly as well.
