Is addition and modification very special, as opposed to other kinds
of changes? Is the reason why we say "we do not want to see
addition nor modification" here because there is no concrete X that
we can say "we do want to see X" in various callers of this helper?
I am also wondering, if this is asserting that $file is not added to
the index, why we are using "git status" and not "ls-files", for
example. Wouldn't
test_must_fail git ls-files --error-unmatch "$file"
be a more direct way to do so?
