git-add: no need for -f when resolving a conflict in already tracked path
When a path F that matches ignore pattern has a conflict, "git add F"
insisted the -f option be given, which did not make sense. It would have
required -f when the path was originally added, but when resolving a
conflict, it already is tracked.
So this should work (and does):
$ echo file >.gitignore
$ echo content >file
$ git add -f file ;# need -f because we are adding new path
$ echo more content >>file
$ git add file ;# don't need -f; it is not actually an "other" file
This is handled under the hood by the COLLECT_IGNORED option to
read_directory. When that code finds an ignored file, it checks the
index to make sure it is not actually a tracked file. However, the test
it uses does not take into account unmerged entries, and considers them
to still be ignored. "git ls-files" uses a more elaborate test and gets
the right answer and the same test should be used here.
