Yes, that would be a clear improvement. I was looking for something like this, the copy takes more time than the clean currently.

The cleanup hook is maybe not exactly the right fit here though. I would need to do one initial copy in the setup test and then a copy in the cleanup, something like this:

test_expect_success 'setup untracked directory with many sub dirs' '
    ...
    cp -r 50000_sub_dirs clean_test_dir/50000_sub_dirs_cpy
'
test_perf_cleanup 'clean many untracked sub dirs, check for nested git' '
    git clean -q -f -d  clean_test_dir/
' '
    test_dir_is_empty clean_test_dir &&
    rm -rf clean_test_dir/50000_sub_dirs_cpy &&
    cp -r 50000_sub_dirs clean_test_dir/50000_sub_dirs_cpy
'

This works better than my original code but maybe we can do even better with something like:

test_setup_perf_cleanup 'clean many untracked sub dirs, check for nested git' '
    rm -rf clean_test_dir/50000_sub_dirs_cpy &&
    cp -r 50000_sub_dirs clean_test_dir/50000_sub_dirs_cpy
' '
    git clean -q -f -d  clean_test_dir/
' '
    test_dir_is_empty clean_test_dir
'

Having a setup phase avoids the initial copy in the setup test making things a little easier to follow. I'm not sure its worth the extra complexity in perf-lib though (and I'm not sure I would be able to implement it either).

Also, what would the implications be if I were to use your new cleanup function that is not yet on master? Should I rebase on top of your topic or make a follow up patch to switch over?
