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.
