Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
`git ls-files '*.gitattributes'   --exclude-standard --others`

Calling `git ls-files` including untracked files is slow in repositories with large untracked folders despite `core.untrackedCache` being enabled.

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)

Just like a repeated `git status` with `core.untrackedCache true` takes no longer than .3s, a `git ls-files` should also leverage the same cache.

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)

Calling `git ls-files` including untracked files is slow in repositories with large untracked folders despite `core.untrackedCache` being enabled.

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
4s for the above-mentioned `git ls-files ...` instead of .3s
Anything else you want to add:
No
