Subject: Implement git-update-cache --force-remove <path>
X-Git-Tag: v0.99~655^2~1

Implement git-update-cache --force-remove <path>

This new flag tells git-update-cache to remove the named path even
when the work tree still happens to have the file.  It is used to
update git-merge-one-file-script not to smudge the work tree.
