multiple entry definitions from the standard input, and designed
specifically for scripts. It can take inputs of three formats:

. mode SP sha1 TAB path
+
The first format is what "git-apply --index-info"
reports, and used to reconstruct a partial tree
that is used for phony merge base tree when falling
back on 3-way merge.

. mode SP type SP sha1 TAB path
+
The second format is to stuff 'git ls-tree' output
into the index file.
This format is to stuff `git ls-tree` output into the index.

. mode SP sha1 SP stage TAB path
+
This format is to put higher order stages into the
index file and matches 'git ls-files --stage' output.

. mode SP sha1 TAB path
+
This format is no longer produced by any Git command, but is
and will continue to be supported by `update-index --index-info`.

To place a higher stage entry to the index, the path should
first be removed by feeding a mode=0 entry for the path, and
then feeding necessary input lines in the third format.
