Thanks, this works well. I tested it and am happy with the
change. It is needed for correctness.
Since I know that I just copied the repo, I'd prefer not to
make people wait to refresh the index. A new flag to
update-index improves performance by avoiding the initial
re-read of all files in the repository. Patch follows in
next mail.
