Re: [PATCH v3 2/4] path: optimize common dir checking

Instead of a linear search over common_list to check whether

path prefixes, and handles excludes.

Just be careful that the given key from git_path is not normalized. I
think you assume it is in the code, but I haven't read carefully. We
could of course optimize for the good case: assume normalized and
search, then fall back to explicit normalizing and search again.
