commit --interactive: properly update the index before commiting

When adding files through git commit --interactive, and 'quit'
afterwards, the message in the editor of the commit message indicates
that many (maybe all) files are deleted from the tree.  Dismissing that
and running git commit afterwards does the right thing.  This commit
fixes git commit --interactive to properly update the index before
commiting.
