Yeah, new and deleted cases we do not have to worry about, so a no-op add_file_to_index() is the only case we have to be careful. There is a "if verbose, say 'add %s'" logic in the funciton, so it should be possible to enhance the API without affecting existing callers to extract that necessary information out of it.
