[PATCH] add -u: do not fail to resolve a path as deleted

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date

Message-ID
<7vbptrkqvb.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org>

After you resolve a conflicted merge to remove the path, "git add -u" failed to record the removal. Instead it errored out by saying that the removed path is not found in the work tree, but that is what the user wanted to do and failing it is illogical.

This fixes it.
