Right, I incorrectly assumed the problem was with git-apply when I saw
Steve's patch since the symptoms seemed similar.

I just finished a bisect, though, and the problem is in removing a
non-empty file with "git add -p".  This wasn't caught by existing tests
because they only try to remove an empty file.

This was introduced in

8f0bef6 (git-apply--interactive: Refactor patch mode code, 2009-08-13)
