My experiments show 2 stats only:
$ strace -f git status |& grep -e execve -e foo
[...]
[pid 22492] execve("/home/moy/local/usr//bin/git", ["git", "update-index", "-q", "--unmerged", "--refresh"], [/* 50 vars */]) = 0
[pid 22492] lstat64("foo", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
[pid 22493] execve("/home/moy/local/usr//bin/git", ["git", "runstatus"], [/* 49 vars */]) = 0
[pid 22493] lstat64("foo", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
[...]
Once for "git update-index --refresh" and once more for "git
runstatus". Obviously, a builtin with one tree traversal only would
provide a good speedup.
