I guess so, but can higher stage entries have cached stat
information that are valid and match the working tree?

Probably unlikely, but I could imagine that it's the case for things that 
failed to merge entirely (ie binaries), where you end up just saying "pick 
the old/base binary", and it ends up matching in stage1.

Probably.  In any case, what I'll commit will have the stage#0
check, just to be safe anyway.

Thanks for the sanity.  Really appreciate it.
