The above is true.  What do we do for a path that is actually added
to the index but is stat-dirty or actually modified in the working
tree when we are giving the raw output?  Don't we give 0{40} to mean
"we dunno---you go look at the working tree"?  I think we should do
the same for i-t-a file wrt the object name.  In both cases, the
index does not know what the actual object name is, and we do not
want to run the index_path() and write out a new object in the
object database.

Using the status letter 'A' would also be appropriate, as we would
show "new file ..." in the --patch output in this case, which would
be consistent.
