Unless you make sure it's full-featured, indeed. But the problem might 
become more severe in the future if we add more capabilities to projects.

This particular problem with speed could be alleviated if we export a 
utility function similar to project--vc-list-files, so that other impls 
could use Git's file listing speed.

The primary drawback is the semantics: the current impl always follows 
.gitignore for its ignores (but accepts additional ones), whereas an 
arbitrary project can have a totally different set of ignores. So, at 
the very least, I'm in doubt how to write the docstring.
