"git clean" uses resolve_gitlink_ref() to check for the presence of nested git repositories, but it has the drawback of creating a ref_cache entry for every directory that should potentially be cleaned. The linear search through the ref_cache list causes a massive performance hit for large number of directories.
Modify clean.c:remove_dirs to use setup.c:is_git_directory and setup.c:read_gitfile_gently instead.
Both these functions will open files and parse contents when they find something that looks like a git repository. This is ok from a performance standpoint since finding repository candidates should be comparatively rare.
Using is_git_directory and read_gitfile_gently should give a more standardized check for what is and what isn't a git repository but also gives a slight behavioral change. We will now detect and respect empty nested git repositories (only init run) and empty bare repositories that have been placed in a ".git" directory. We will also no longer die when cleaning a file named ".git" with garbage content (it will be cleaned instead). Update t7300 to reflect this.
The time to clean an untracked directory containing 100000 sub directories went from 61s to 1.7s after this change.
