Just to make sure.  I am *not* saying that you do not need to run
"update-index --refresh".  It is necessary before running read-tree
to avoid false dirtyness, so you do need to run it.

I am only saying that it is too strict to fail the operation when
the command reports that you have a local modification in the
working tree.
