When using unpack_trees to add a new file, there is no in-file index entry to grab the previous skip worktree bit from. If it is outside the checkout area, we should pretend it was skipped before, too; otherwise a checkout can cause a file on disk whose name coincides with a newly added outside-worktree file to be deleted.
