When git checkout checks out a branch, create or update the
cache-tree so that subsequent operations are faster.

update_main_cache_tree learned a new flag, WRITE_TREE_REPAIR.  When
WRITE_TREE_REPAIR is set, portions of the cache-tree which do not
correspond to existing tree objects are invalidated (and portions which
do are marked as valid).  No new tree objects are created.

This causes an incorrect error message to be printed when switching
branches with staged changes in a subdirectory.  The test case is pretty
simple:

<snip>

I tried to reproduce this problem, but I could not.  I tried to
reproduce against just this patch 1/4, and also against all 4 of the
patches.  Can you reproduce this on Junio's 'next' branch, which
includes this series of patches?

Do you have some sort of unusual configuration that might cause
different results? 

I don't think so.  I wondered if "status.branch=true" in the config
could do it, but there's no difference turning that off.  The rest of
the config looks like this:
