Two-phase index merging When three-way merging indexes, we previously changed each path as we read them, which would lead to us adding an index entry for 'foo', then removing an index entry for 'foo/file'. With the new index requirements, this is not allowed. Removing entries in the merged index, then adding them, resolves this. In the previous example, we now remove 'foo/file' before adding 'foo'.
