apply: git_apply_to_tree fails to apply patches that add new files git_apply_to_tree() cannot be used apply patches with new files. An attempt to apply such a patch fails because git_apply_to_tree() tries to remove a non-existing file from an old index. The solution is to modify git_apply_to_tree() to git_index_remove() when the patch states that the modified files is removed.
