[ JGIT ] incompatiblity found in DirCache

When using the DirCache interface to the index you can create a invalid/corrupt tree for git 1.6.5.

The problem seems to be you can add a path to the index that starts with a "/" and DirCache creates a entry with a mode but no path. This causes git 1.6.5 to fail with a corrupt tree.

The following code will create the problem

import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Calendar; import java.util.Date; import java.util.TimeZone;

import org.spearce.jgit.dircache.DirCache; import org.spearce.jgit.dircache.DirCacheBuilder; import org.spearce.jgit.dircache.DirCacheEntry; import org.spearce.jgit.lib.Commit; import org.spearce.jgit.lib.FileMode; import org.spearce.jgit.lib.ObjectId; import org.spearce.jgit.lib.ObjectWriter; import org.spearce.jgit.lib.PersonIdent; import org.spearce.jgit.lib.RefUpdate; import org.spearce.jgit.lib.Repository; import org.spearce.jgit.lib.RefUpdate.Result;
