Similar, but not quite. This patch doesn't care about the index, just 
providing the option to avoid looking for untracked files.

Improving the index handling was done in the other patch
     Add shortcut in refresh_cache_ent() for marked entries.
(which is already in master, aa9349d4), so the core.ignoreStat option 
is more effective.
