Fix performance regression for partial commits
When running "git commit paths" to create a partial commit, we
used to carefully build the temporary index so that we do not
lose the cached stat information. The rewrite of the command in
C lost it by carelessly using read_tree().
This resurrects the earlier behaviour to keep the cached stat
information as much as possible by using one-tree merge logic.
