Changes sine v1
(v1 was posted with subject "The ext4 filesystem and racy git")
-- patch 2/3 --
Added missing timestamp => timestamp.(u)sec update for
unpack-trees.c
-- patch 3/3 --
New patch which removes some 14300 lstat(2) calls, and the total is
now at 41677 calls, or 1.382 calls/unique string to lstat() for the
reference 'git checkout'-test to Linux tag v2.6.27.
Total reduction so far for all the lstat/git checkout optimisation
patches has been 120954 - 41677 = 79277 calls. Some 14400 fstat(2)
calls is added, but those should be faster than simmilar lstat()
calls.
(patch-series based on master)
Hmm, have you noticed that the rest of the stuff are queued on 'next'?
Not that it matters in this case...
