Yes, that patch that broke this is mine. The idea behind the patch was to avoid having to make hard links when adding files to the repo (both for hoped for speed and because some FS do not allow hard links). I actually looked at the git source code (complicated) to try and find out if there is a way to use git's cache of metadata when using the plumbing commands. So far I have not found anything that would let me do that.
