I wonder if there are other completely different parts of git that could
benefit from multi threading when the work tree is on nfs?  I'm thinking
specifically of 'git checkout', since while testing this patch I
happened to do a 'git pull' that resulted in several thousand new files
being created, and the "Checking out files" part took *forever* to run.

And FWIW, I timed 50 iterations of 'git diff', and the average runtime
dropped from 11.7s to 2.8s after this patch.  A nice improvement.
