Description Robin Rosenberg

There is a TODO marker in WorkingTreeIterator's idBuffer() method to add
support for the GITLINK type of file.

This requires opening a repository against the child and reading its HEAD
reference to get the current commit.

For performance reasons we probably also want to modify Repository to
permit opening a Repository instance without building the list of PackFiles
right away, or even reading the config file.  These items aren't necessary
to resolve the HEAD ref into an ObjectId for use here.

I believe this was fixed in commit 931b931ee830057a6c713ed8ccc56b75aa50d195
