Looks good till here.

What do you mean by a "full rescan"? I assume you use it as the 
differentiator between `ui_do_rescan` (called when you hit F5 or choose 
rescan from the menu) and `do_rescan` (called when you revert a line or 
hunk), and a "full rescan" refers to `ui_do_rescan`.

Well in that case, this check is incorrect. `do_rescan` passes only 
"ui_ready" and `ui_do_rescan` passes "force_first_diff ui_ready".

But either way, I'm not a big fan of this. This check makes assumptions 
about the behaviour of its callers based on what they pass to $after. 
The way I see it, $after should be a black box to `rescan`, and it 
should make absolutely no assumptions about it.

Doing it this way is really brittle, and would break as soon as someone 
changes the behaviour of `ui_do_rescan`. If someone in the future passes 
a different value in $after, this would stop working as intended and 
would not refresh the cached list on a rescan.

So, I think a better place for this if statement would be in 
`ui_do_rescan`. This would mean adding a new function that does this. 
But if we unset _gitdir_cache in prime_gitdir_cache (I see no reason not 
to), we can get away with just something like:

  proc ui_do_rescan {} {
        rescan {prime_gitdir_cache; ui_ready}
  }

Though since `prime_gitdir_cache` does not really depend on the rescan 
being finished, something like this would also work fine:

  proc ui_do_rescan {} {
        rescan ui_ready
        prime_gitdir_cache
  }

This would allow us to do these two things in parallel since `rescan` is 
asynchronous. But that would also mean it is possible that the status 
bar would show "Ready" while `prime_gitdir_cache` is still executing.

I can't really make up my mind on what is better. I'm inclining on using 
the latter way, effectively trading a bit of UI inconsistency for 
performance (at least in theory).

Thoughts?
