Materializing a full copy of every directory in a treemanifest repo can be quite
expensive, even with a narrow matcher. For flat manifest repos, this should be
equivalent - it will still materialize (and cache) a dict of all of the dirs
inside of the manifest object, we just don't get a copy of it.
In a repo I have here, this brings the time for a simple rebase from 11.197s to
4.609s.
