* git-gc spent excessive amount of time to decide if an object appears

- * "git-ls-tree" and "git-diff-tree" used a pathspec correctly when
169
- deciding to descend into a subdirectory but they did not match the
170
- individual paths correctly. This caused pathspecs "abc/d ab" to match
171

172
- and then "ab" incorrectly matched "abc/0" when it shouldn't).
