The methods traverse_by_cache_tree() and unpack_nondirectories() have
similar behavior in trying to demonstrate the difference between and
index and a tree, with some differences about how they walk the index.

As I have been working on further sparse-index integrations,
specifically with 'git checkout', I have found an issue with this
patch that doesn't show itself in the current t1092 test script,
but appears later as more complicated scenarios appear.

I am pursuing the correct fix (that will also make 'git checkout'
work better) but it might be a week or two before I can send a v5
with that fix.

Thanks,
