I'm hacking on windows right now, thus I cannot compare performance as I
lack "time". But it surely feels a lot faster. Feel free to apply the patch
on the current tip of stable (b26315ae7f18) and test it with:
$ time hg tip -q
$ time hg tip -q --config extensions.largefiles=
The speedup should match exactly the factor:
`ls .hg/store/data/* | wc -l` / `find .hg/store/data | wc -l`
I also thought of even doing an atomic file exists check, but was afraid of
that after all.
Cheers,
Dominik
