This is a partial port of gitahead/gitahead#601
I've tested with a 2.5GiB file uncommitted in the repo, and the refresh is pretty decent. Without the fix, Gittyup would just sit there and chew RAM and CPU like crazy. I'm sure it would result in an OOM crash eventually, but I didn't wait for that. This is quite simply night and day difference.
This partially addresses #652 and #765, and might help #523
