Revert "Significantly sped up processing of large numbers of directories passed to a single git-annex command."
This reverts commit 5492d8f4ddbd398e0188da9daed840908d1198c0. Whoops, git ls-files does not always output in the input ordering. That's why all this work is needed. Urk.

* It can take a really long time for git-annex to chew through the
git-ls-files results. There is probably an exponential blowup in the time
relative to the number of parameters. Some of the stuff being done to
preserve original ordering etc is likely at fault.
