Description Robin Rosenberg

.git/info/exclude gets for every directory. With a large project like
the liferay source this means > 3000 accesses just to start eclipse
and another 10000 to expand the first level (there are about 3000
directories in ths project).

A RootIgnoreNode instance is created for every directory and the ecludes file
is parsed for every directory.

During the same time the top leverl .giignore is read 42 times. Once for starting eclipse and 41 while expanding the first level of the project.

I believe this is a bug in the EGit ContainerTreeIterator class.

Proposed fix pushed to: https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/5231/
