I notice there is another special case for CE_REMOVE but there is
nothing that adjusts the cache-tree for these entries in the current
codebase.

I suspect the original code before we (perhaps incorrectly) updated
the code not to error out upon I-T-A entries was fine only because
we do not attempt to fully populate the cache-tree during a merge in
the unpack-trees codepath, which will mark the index entries that
are to be removed with CE_REMOVE in the resulting index.

The solution implemented with this patch will break if we start
updating the cache tree after a successful merge in unpack-trees, I
suspect.

An alternative might be to add a "phoney" bit next to "used" in the
cache_tree structure, mark the cache tree as phoney when we skip an
entry marked as CE_REMOVE or CE_ITA, and make the postprocessing
loop this patch adds aware of that bit, instead of iterating over
the index entries; instead, it would recurse the resulting cache
tree and invalidate parts of the tree that have subtrees with the
"phoney" bit set, or something.
