The original readdir implementation was fast, but didn't
support the d_type. This means that git would do additional
lstats for each entry, to figure out if the entry was a
directory or not. This unneedingly slowed down many
operations, since Windows API provides this information
directly when walking the directories.
By running this implementation on Moe's repo structure:
mkdir bummer && cd bummer; for ((i=0;i<100;i++)); do
mkdir $i && pushd $i;
for ((j=0;j<1000;j++)); do echo "$j" >$j; done;
popd;
done
We see the following speedups:
