Thank you for the tests!

I tried to replicate your results on webkit.git with 184672 tracked
files, 5631 untracked, 9330 dirs. Also best numbers out of a few
tries.

I got the following results from "time git status ...":

0m0.774s
0m0.799s split
0m0.766s split helper
0m0.335s split helper untracked
0m0.232s split helper untracked -uno
0m0.284s split helper untracked watchman
0m0.188s split helper untracked watchman -uno

Using David's series I get worse results than all of the above but I
guess it's because his series is based on an ancient git version
(v2.0.0-rc0).

I did the s/free_watchman_shm/release_watchman_shm/ change, but I
didn't notice the index-helper bug.

Thanks,
