[PATCH v4 09/17] sparse-checkout: use hashmaps for cone patterns

From

In-Reply-To
<pull.316.v4.git.1571147764.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com>

The parent and recursive patterns allowed by the "cone mode" option in sparse-checkout are restrictive enough that we can avoid using the regex parsing. Everything is based on prefix matches, so we can use hashsets to store the prefixes from the sparse-checkout file. When checking a path, we can strip path entries from the path and check the hashset for an exact match.

As a test, I created a cone-mode sparse-checkout file for the Linux repository that actually includes every file. This was constructed by taking every folder in the Linux repo and creating the pattern pairs here:

	/$folder/
	!/$folder/*/

This resulted in a sparse-checkout file sith 8,296 patterns. Running 'git read-tree -mu HEAD' on this file had the following performance:

	core.sparseCheckout=false: 0.21 s (0.00 s)
	 core.sparseCheckout=true: 3.75 s (3.50 s)
	 core.sparseCheckout=cone: 0.23 s (0.01 s)

The times in parentheses above correspond to the time spent in the first clear_ce_flags() call, according to the trace2 performance traces.

While this example is contrived, it demonstrates how these patterns can slow the sparse-checkout feature.
