I managed to apply your patch on next, and run the test suite before and after
your patch.
The performance running "git status" on a linux kernel is the same as in v1.8.3.
Running test suite did not show new failures.
The following test cases had failed, and are fixed now:
< t1400-update-ref
< t3210-pack-refs
< t3211-peel-ref
< t3306-notes-prune
< t5304-prune
< t5404-tracking-branches
< t5500-fetch-pack
< t5505-remote
< t5514-fetch-multiple
< t5515-fetch-merge-logic
< t6030-bisect-porcelain
< t9300-fast-import
< t9903-bash-prompt
In short: Thanks, This looks good to me.
