Stating is *extremely* fast, and does not have any bearing on the size of
the header file.

Let me emphasize: *extremely* fast. 'git status' stats every single file in
the entire git tree in a tiny fraction of a second.

Do you have a benchmark that clearly shows how much time is spent on 'stat'
here? Are you using a network filesystem that makes stat system calls slow
for some reason?
