+test_description='git update-index nonsense-path test.
+
+This test creates the following structure in the cache:
+
+    path0       - a file
+    path1       - a symlink
+    path2/file2 - a file in a directory
+    path3/file3 - a file in a directory
+
+and tries to git update-index --add the following:
+
+    path0/file0 - a file in a directory
+    path1/file1 - a file in a directory
+    path2       - a file
+    path3       - a symlink
+
+All of the attempts should fail.
