I did wonder a bit about these cases. But, can i-t-a really be
combined with CE_VALID or CE_SKIP_WORKTREE? CE_SKIP_... is
automatically set and should not cover i-t-a entries imo (I didn't
check the implementation). CE_VALID is about real entries, yes you
could do "git update-index --assume-unchanged <ita-path>" but it does
not feel right to me.
If cached is false and ce_ita() is true and either CE_VALID or
CE_SKIP_WORKTREE is set, we would continue to grep an _empty_ SHA-1.
But I think we should grep_file() instead, at least for CE_VALID.
