[PATCH] Make 'git checkout' a bit more forgiving when switching branc…

…hes.

If you make a commit on a path, and then make the path
cache-dirty afterwards without changing its contents, 'git
checkout' to switch to another branch is prevented because
switching the branches done with 'read-tree -m -u $current
$next' detects that the path is cache-dirty, but it does not
bother noticing that the contents of the path has not been
actualy changed.

Since switching branches would involve checking out paths
different in the two branches, hence it is reasonably expensive
operation, we can afford to run update-index before running
read-tree to reduce this kind of false change from triggering
the check needlessly.
