Just to be clear, this patch discards the cache after preparing the
partial index but before doing the status. This is in contrast to the
current 'master' and v1.5.4, which discard the cache _three_ times
during the status process.

So no, the performance will probably not be a big deal. It is better
than it has been in any released version of git.
