lstat_cache(): introduce has_symlink_or_noent_leading_path() function
In some cases, especially inside the unpack-trees.c file, and inside the verify_absent() function, we can avoid some unnecessary calls to lstat(), if the lstat_cache() function can also be told to keep track of non-existing directories. So we update the lstat_cache() function to handle this new fact, introduce a new wrapper function, and the result is that we save lots of lstat() calls for a removed directory which previously contained lots of files, when we call this new wrapper of lstat_cache() instead of the old one. We do similar changes inside the unlink_entry() function, since if we can already say that the leading directory component of a pathname does not exist, it is not necessary to try to remove a pathname below it! Thanks to Junio C Hamano, Linus Torvalds and Rene Scharfe for valuable comments to this patch! Signed-off-by: Kjetil Barvik <barvik@broadpark.no> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
