My project ran into this bug today, and I can confirm that this patch
fixes it.  I think it's an important bug; it hasn't been mentioned yet,
but this can result in lost work if the user had modified, but not added,
one of the files that Git wrongly deleted.

So, what's the status of this patch?

James
