Yes, per-tree would probably work but I expect most WCs have more
files than directories so the gains over per-dir would be small. One
big advantage of doing status per-tree is that it gives a proper
snapshot, the tree cannot be modified during the status walk. I'm not
pushing per-dir as the final solution, my point is that per-node
SQLite queries are not going to be fast enough.
