`git update-index --untracked-cache` used to perform tests to
check that the underlying operating system and file system
change `st_mtime` field of a directory if files are added or
deleted in that directory. But those tests take a long time
and there is now `--test-untracked-cache` to perform them.
So to be more consistent with other git commands it's better
to make `--untracked-cache` not perform them, which is the
purpose of this patch.
Note that after this patch there is no difference any more
between `--untracked-cache` and `--force-untracked-cache`.

Enable or disable untracked cache extension. This could speed
