A lot of git operations were being repeated, for example, to build a url
    you would ask if the path was a Tree, which would call a recursive routine
    in Gitlab::Git::Tree#where, then ask if the path was a Blob, which would
    call a recursive routine at Gitlab::Git::Blob#find, making reference to
    the same git objects several times. Now we call Rugged::Tree#path, which
    allows us to determine the type of the path in one pass.

    Some other minor improvement added, like saving commonly used references
    instead of calculating them each time.
