Improve performance of git status --ignored
Improve the performance of the directory listing logic when it wants to list non-empty ignored directories. In order to show non-empty ignored directories, the existing logic will recursively iterate through all contents of an ignored directory. This change introduces the optimization to stop iterating through the contents once it finds the first file. This can have a significant improvement in 'git status --ignored' performance in repositories with a large number of files in ignored directories. For an example of the performance difference on an example repository with 196,000 files in 400 ignored directories: | Command | Time (s) | | -------------------------- | --------- | | git status | 1.2 | | git status --ignored (old) | 3.9 | | git status --ignored (new) | 1.4 | Signed-off-by: Jameson Miller <jamill@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
