Are you confusing fields that are internal to dir, with fields that
are internal to unpack-trees?
This series does not make exclude_per_dir an internal field within dir_struct.
Later in this series, we do make the embedded dir_struct within
unpack_trees_options as internal. Thus every access of any field of
dir within unpack_trees will have an "internal." prefix, but that has
nothing to do with this patch and would still be true even if this
patch were dropped.

Trying to get a consistent look and feel between commands is
important. The "setup_standard_excludes()" is one small area where
we've achieved that, and it's shared by _almost_ all commands
(builtin/ls-files being the only exception and it persists for
backward compatibility reasons). So I definitely want to keep the
deprecation notice and warn people away from using this field. That's
what this patch is for.
