Or perhaps better yet, go into yes/no interaction to confirm if you
have access to interactive terminal at fd #0/#1, perhaps?

Hmph, when we conclude a conflicted merge with "commit -a", wouldn't
we fail to compute the "before" picture, with higher-stage entries
stil in the index?

The cache-tree covers no entry, meaning the index has no cache
entries?  Shouldn't we setting EMPTY_TREE_SHA1_BIN or something
instead?

I was hoping that it is an easy change to teach add_files_to_cache()
to report how many paths it actually has "added" (modifications and
removals are of course also counted), which allows us not to waste
computing a throw-away tree object once more.

There only are three existing callers to the function, and only one
of them rely on the current "non-zero is error, zero is good"
semantics, so updating that caller (and perhaps vetting the other
callers to see if they also _should_ pay attention to the return
value, at least to detect errors of not number of paths updated)
shouldn't be that much more effort, and would be a good update to
the API regardless of this new feature, I would think.
