## Description
On protected branches, we neither allow auto-commits nor expose the
results of the git status API. As a result, these two API calls are
redundant. Skipping them can reduce load times by approximately 30
seconds on protected branches.
Furthermore, since auto-commits are disabled for protected branches,
there's a high chance that the branch contains an outdated version of
the DSL. This often results in uncommitted changes in the file system
for those branches. Such uncommitted changes can slow down subsequent
checkouts to other branches, as Git needs to re-index these files before
performing a reset. These delays are even more pronounced when using an
EFS.
This PR removes the auto-commit and status API calls for protected
branches.
