I have seen poor performance of git on Linux in very large repos, so I'm not super convinced that the dentry cache magically makes things better.
In particular, if my repo is big enough, I often don't have the entire tree in memory (because I'm doing other useful things with memory and caches got evicted). core.untrackedCache makes things a little better, but it's still not great.
