[PATCH] Fix "git add -u" data corruption.

This applies to 'maint' to fix a rather serious data corruption issue. When "git add -u" affects a subdirectory in such a way that the only changes to its contents are path removals, the next tree object written out of that index was bogus, as the remove codepath forgot to invalidate the cache-tree entry.

Kodos for noticing this breakage goes to Salikh Zakirov.
