Re: [PATCH] Don't sort ref_list too early

get_ref_dir is called recursively for subdirectories, which means that
we were calling sort_ref_list for each directory of refs instead of
once for all the refs.  This is a massive wast of processing, so now
just call sort_ref_list on the result of the top-level get_ref_dir, so
that the sort is only done once.

I think this patch should also be considered for maint, since it is
noninvasive and fixes a bad performance regression.
