[PATCH v4 0/1] unpack-trees: skip stat on fsmonitor-valid files

From

Message-ID
<pull.424.v4.git.1574238737.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.424.v3.git.1573016055.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

The index might be aware that a file hasn't modified via fsmonitor, but unpack-trees did not pay attention to it and checked via ie_match_stat which can be inefficient on certain filesystems. This significantly slows down commands that run oneway_merge, like checkout and reset --hard.

This patch makes oneway_merge check whether a file is considered unchanged through fsmonitor and skips ie_match_stat on it. unpack-trees also now correctly copies over fsmonitor validity state from the source index. Finally, for correctness, we force a refresh of fsmonitor state in tweak_fsmonitor.

After this change, commands like stash (that use reset --hard internally) go from 8s or more to ~2s on a 250k file repository on a mac.

Changes since the last version are:
 * The sanity checks around accessing the fsmonitor_dirty bitmap have been
   moved to another patch, which is in message id [1]
 * Unintended indentation changes in fsmonitor have been removed
 * A comment explaining what untracked->use_fsmonitor means has been
   re-added (it was dropped in the previous version)
 * A few "helped-by" entries have been added to the patch
