I suggest adding a bit more detail:
"This patch changes this pool mechanism so that we do not allocate Identifiers until we really need." => "This patch changes this pool mechanism so that we do not waste effort allocating null Identifiers to pre-populate the recent identifiers pool. Instead, we now use a m_recentIdentifiersIndex uint8_t array to indicate whether there's a cached recent identifier for each given first character."

I see.  The reason for using indexPlusOne instead if index is so that 0 can mean no entry.  I think this is worth a comment.
