"git am -3" is smart enough that applying this patch on a branch that contains the performance regression does the right thing without me having to think. The most time-consuming part on my part was to figure out which exact commit this change is fixing and then find out to which maintenance tracks contains that breakage.

Here is what I'll queue on top of maint-2.4 series.
Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] am --skip/--abort: merge HEAD/ORIG_HEAD tree into index

f8da6801 (am --skip: support skipping while on unborn branch, 2015-06-06) introduced a performance regression to "git am --skip", where it used "read-tree" to reconstruct the index from scratch without reusing the cached stat information.

This is a backport of the corresponding patch to the builtin am in 2.6: 3ecc704 (am --skip/--abort: merge HEAD/ORIG_HEAD tree into index, 2015-08-19).

Reportedly, it can make a huge difference on Windows, in one case a `git rebase --skip` took 1m40s without, and 5s with, this patch.
