"git clean" uses resolve_gitlink_ref() to check for the presence of
nested git repositories, but it has the drawback of creating a
ref_cache entry for every directory that should potentially be
cleaned. The linear search through the ref_cache list causes a massive
performance hit for large number of directories.
Modify clean.c:remove_dirs to use setup.c:is_git_directory and
setup.c:read_gitfile_gently instead.
Both these functions will open files and parse contents when they find
something that looks like a git repository. This is ok from a
performance standpoint since finding repository candidates should be
comparatively rare.
Using is_git_directory and read_gitfile_gently should give a more
standardized check for what is and what isn't a git repository but
also gives three behavioral changes.
The first change is that we will now detect and avoid cleaning empty
nested git repositories (only init run). This is desirable.
Second, we will no longer die when cleaning a file named ".git" with
garbage content (it will be cleaned instead). This is also desirable.
The last change is that we will detect and avoid cleaning empty bare
repositories that have been placed in a directory named ".git". This
is not desirable but should have no real user impact since we already
fail to clean non-empty bare repositories in the same scenario. This
is thus deemed acceptable.
Update t7300 to reflect these changes in behavior.
The time to clean an untracked directory containing 100000 sub
directories went from 61s to 1.7s after this change.
