I just had a thought this afternoon whether "git add" may benefit from
parallelism. It's most likely I/O-bound, although I think if we add a
bunch of large files, it might become CPU-bound. To generalize,
anything that calls hash_sha1_file() might benefit from parallelism.

Another candidate may be git-apply. Actually I just want to speed up
git-rebase and think git-apply may be the culprit. Or it could be
unpack-trees code..
