Trying to clear the skip-worktree bit from files that are present does
present some computational overhead, for sparse-checkouts. (We do not
do the bit clearing in non-sparse-checkouts.) Optimize it as follows:
Rather than lstat()'ing every SKIP_WORKTREE path, take advantage of the
fact that entire directories will often be missing, especially for cone
mode and even more so ever since commit 55dfcf9591 ("sparse-checkout:
clear tracked sparse dirs", 2021-09-08). If we have already determined
that the parent directory of a file (or other previous ancestor) does
not exist, then the file cannot exist either so we do not need to
lstat() it separately.
Timings for p2000 included below, reformatted to fit in normal commit
message line lengths, which compare three things:
* Timings before this series
* Timings of the unoptimized version of
clear_skip_worktree_from_present_files() from a few commits ago
* Timings after the optimization in this commit
(NOTE: t/perf/ appears to have timing resolution only down to 0.01 s,
which presents significant measurement error when timings only differ by
0.01s. I don't trust any such timings below, and yet all the optimized
results differ by at most 0.01s.)

So, with the optimization, the extra work appears to be essentially 0
for sparse-checkouts that are also using sparse-indexes (even before my
optimization), and the extra work appears to be just marginally more
than 0 for sparse-checkouts that are using full indexes.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to
the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very
first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker"
and the name as (depending on your mood):
random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
"global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
"goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
