This patch causes memory corruption when the split index feature is in
use, making several tests fail.  Now, while the split index feature
sure has its own set of problems, AFAIK those are not that bad to
cause memory corruption, they "only" tend to cause transient test
failures due to a variant of the classic racy git issue [1].

Here is a test failure:

Removing this discard_index() call makes all those test failures go
away...  but I guess that isn't the right solution, is it.

And even with that call removed, the next patch will cause a
segmentation fault in 't6043-merge-rename-directories.sh's '72 -
9f-check: Renamed directory that only contained immediate subdirs'.
