Run lstat() here is necessary, because we need to check whether
ent->name points to a file or a directory. If ent points to a directory,
only add to del_list when user provides '-x' option to git-clean.

                if (S_ISDIR(st.st_mode)) {
                        if (remove_directories || (matches ==
MATCHED_EXACTLY)) {
                                rel = path_relative(ent->name, prefix);
                                string_list_append(&del_list, rel);
                        }
                } ...


When start to do cleaning, there is a duplicate lstat() call, and the removed
comments above are moved here.

                /*
                 * we might have removed this as part of earlier
                 * recursive directory removal, so lstat() here could
                 * fail with ENOENT.
                 */
                if (lstat(abs_path.buf, &st))
                        continue;

                if (S_ISDIR(st.st_mode)) {
                        if (remove_dirs(&abs_path, prefix, rm_flags,
dry_run, quiet, &gone))
                                errors++;
                        if (gone && !quiet) {
                                qname =
quote_path_relative(item->string, -1, &buf, NULL);
                                printf(dry_run ? _(msg_would_remove) :
_(msg_remove), qname);
                        }
                }

But I am not clear how "earlier recursive directory removal" could
make lstat() failure here. If it is not the case, maybe we can test a
directory by ent->name (ends with '/' or '\\' ?).
