You do not have to do the deprecating/removing part if that is
the issue.

I'd rather avoid keeping this code, if nobody uses it anyway...

So I cloned StGit and guilt (the two porcelains that I feel are most used, 
apart from what is in git.git, and I'm too lazy to find that mail 
analysing the recent Git survey).  Neither of them has any --index-info in 
their complete history.

So I'm more confident now that there is no need to keep --index-info.

Ciao,
