But this wastes a commit.  Is there any way to get an index that simply
includes the file from that other branch?

Yow.  How simple is *that*?  Thanks.
There is one thing you would want to be careful about.
This updates the index.

Yes. Btw, I've been bitten by that. I think it might be better to _not_ 
update the index when we check out a file from another branch than the one 
we're on (or rather, we should perhaps update the index with the value 
from the current branch every time, even though the _working_tree_ is 
updated from another branch)
