Teach add_index_entry_with_check() to see if the path
of the new item is greater than the last path in the
index array before attempting to search for it.
During checkout, merge_working_tree() populates the new
index in sorted order, so this change will save a binary
lookups per file. This preserves the original behavior
but simply checks the last element before starting the
search.
This helps performance on very large repositories.
