- use a pipe to "git-update-index --index-info" instead of
using command line

...and to take it a step further, a patch (0002) to avoid too many calls to
git-write-tree and to git-update-index. Brought merge times on my test
monster (~25k files) down to 2min 30sec (from something around 11 min).

this broke t6022-merge-rename.sh (the second test). It produces an
index with this:

.../t/trash$ git-diff-index white
:100644 100644 2d603156dc5bdf6295c789cac08e3c9942a0b82a 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 M      B
:100644 100644 ba41fb96393979b22691106b06bf5231eab57b85 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 M      N

whereas git-merge-recursive (and the previous version, without pipe):

.../t/trash$ git-diff-index white
:100644 100644 2d603156dc5bdf6295c789cac08e3c9942a0b82a 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 M      B

I can see that "git update-index --add" is somehow different from a
pipe to "git update-index --index-info", but not very clear. Does this
"zero-sha1" mean that the file "N" is not in the index?
