[PATCH] git-gui: Unstaging a partly staged entry didn't update file_states correctly

When unstaging a partly staged file or submodule, the file_states list was not updated properly (unless unstaged linewise). Its index_info part did not contain the former head_info as it should have but kept its old value.

This seems not to have had any bad effects but diminishes the value of the file_states list for future enhancements.

I noticed this while whipping up another - soon to be released - patch where the file_states list is used to access the hash values of staged and unstaged changes.

AFAICS this buglet did not have negative effects until now because the index_info hash value is not used.
