I've been working on the file skipping mechanism using the sparsity
patterns directly. But I'm uncertain about some implementation
details. So I wanted to share my current plan with you, to get some
feedback before going deeper.

The first idea was to load the sparsity patterns a priori and pass
them to grep_tree(), which recursively greps the entries of a given
tree object. If --recurse-submodules is given, however, we would also
need to load each surepo's sparse-checkout file on the fly (as the
subrepos are lazily initialized in grep_tree()'s call chain). That's
not a problem on its own. But in the most naive implementation, this
means unnecessarily re-loading the sparse-checkout files of the
submodules for each tree given to git-grep (as grep_tree() is called
separately for each one of them).

So my next idea was to implement a cache, mapping 'struct repository's
to 'struct pattern_list'. Well, not 'struct repository' itself, but
repo->gitdir. This way we could load each file once, store the pattern
list, and quickly retrieve the one that affect the repository
currently being grepped, whether it is a submodule or not. But, is
gitidir unique per repository? If not, could we use
repo_git_path(repo, "info/sparse-checkout") as the key?

I already have a prototype implementation of the last idea (using
repo_git_path()). But I wanted to make sure, does this seem like a
good path? Or should we avoid the work of having this hashmap here and
do something else, as adding a 'struct pattern_list' to 'struct
repository', directly?

Thanks,
Matheus
