From: Ben Peart <benpeart@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
During an "add", a call is made to run_diff_files() which calls
check_remove() for each index-entry. The preload_index() code distributes
some of the costs across multiple threads.
Because the files checked are restricted to pathspec, adding individual
files makes no measurable impact but on a Windows repo with ~200K files,
'git add .' drops from 6.3 seconds to 3.3 seconds for a 47% savings.
