Junio, would it be better to change the config setting, and then
update this test to use the config setting over a command-line flag?
This would allow us to punt on the --force-full-index flag until we
have time to focus on the 'git update-index' command and interactions
like this.
I do not have a strong opinion on where we add the feature; as long
as we have a way to let us avoid having to unnecessarily change this
particular test, that's perfectly fine, and if we can reuse it as a
way for end-users to help those who are debugging their issues, that
would be an added bonus.
Thanks.
