Re: [BUG] 'git mv a/fileA b/fileB' causes 'c/fileC' to be deleted

Thanks.  I see it reproduces.

It is a bug in git-mv that fails to update cache-tree data
structure properly.  This patch should fix it.

git-mv: do not write out a bogus cache-tree in the index

The command updates the cache without invalidating the cache
tree entries.  Since this is not as performance critical as
one-tree and two-tree git-read-tree and git-apply, disable
use of cache-tree entirely.
