In #1001 bits around the Helm repository reconciliation logic were
rewritten, mostly based on the documented behavior instead of the
actual code. This resulted in the reintroduction of a YAML marshal of
the (sorted) index YAML instead of reliance of just the checksum of the
file.
This to take situations into account in which a repository would e.g.
provide a new random order on every generation. However, this approach
is (extremely) expensive as the marshal goes through a JSON -> YAML
loop, eating lots of RAM in the process.
As the further (silently) introduced behavior has not resulted in any
reported issues, I deem this approach safe and better than e.g.
encoding to just JSON which would still require a substantial amount of
memory.
