Next, you can try to enable `feature.manyFile` with `git config feature.manyFiles true`. This does two things:
1. Sets `index.version = 4` which enables path-prefix compression in the index
2. Sets `core.untrackedCache=true` which by default is set to `keep`. The untracked cache is quite important concept. What it does is to record the mtime of all the files and directories in the working directory. This way, when time comes to iterate over all the files and directories, it can skip those whom mtime wasn't updated.

<summary>What is the <code>.git</code> directory? What can you find there?</summary><br><b>
The <code>.git</code> folder contains all the information that is necessary for your project in version control and all the information about commits, remote repository address, etc. All of them are present in this folder. It also contains a log that stores your commit history so that you can roll back to history.

One reason is about the structure of the index, commits, etc.
* Every file in a commit is stored in tree object
* The index is then a flattened structure of tree objects
* All files in the index have pre-computed hashes
* The diff operation then, is comparing the hashes
