In some cases (e.g. #6448), a .git directory can make its way into $OPAMROOT/repo/<repo-name>. Currently our internal implementation of diff doesn't do anything clever and will simply diff everything. However this can take a while depending on the hardware and take a significant amount of memory.
We should try to make sure that:
- every commands do ignore VCS directories
- the internal diff does ignore it if that repository was already present
