Ok, this approach looks actually reasonable (contrary to the frequently
suggested rm approach, which is rather dangerous).

Perhaps git checkout --empty could do this?

Or perhaps just delete .git/index?

Any git-update-index --add or git-add command will immediately create
an empty index.  Indeed this is the initial state after git-init-db,
since there is no HEAD to load into the index there is no index...
