I think this patch (slightly reframed) would be good to have independantly
 of the series; it also means that we won't do weird things if someone
 changes a file in the worktree which is marked as CE_VALID, and may well
 may CE_VALID sufficient for the index representation of paths outside the
 checkout.

I have made a fixup patch for CE_VALID. Unfortunately I have not had
time to write tests and finish it before submitting. I may have free
time this weekend to complete.
