This (and the fact that the speed of Go on Plan9/amd64 seems to be finally
be useable enough to do development again as of 1.14..) finally gave me the
kick I needed to fix some of the hacks that were causing performance
problems on clone. The self-clone time went from ~160s to ~13s on my
machine (compared to ~8s with "real" git) If there's other parts that you
were referring to as being slow and memory intensive let me know (or if you
still find it's memory intensive, I didn't benchmark that part..)
