Looks good.

We may want to be a bit more strict (like "o?.txt") but because we
know this is the first 'setup' step, let's let it pass.

It is a bit inconvenient that --cacheinfo takes only fully-spelled
raw object name that we need to use $oid like this (otherwise we
would be able to write ":o1.txt" instead), but (1) it is not a fault
of this patch, and (2) update-index is a plumbing command meant for
scripts, so it is not too big a problem.

Either "awk" or "cut" is fine and flipping between them is a bit
distracting.  Cutting the pipe into two is a good move.

But is this testing the right thing?

It only looks at the first column of the "-s" output, and we are
implicitly assuming that the order of output does not change between
the "-s" output and "--format=<format>" output.  I wonder if it is
more useful and less error prone to come up with a format string
that 100% reproduces the "ls-files -s" output and compare the two,
e.g. 

	format="%(objectmode) %(objectname) %(stage)	%(path)" &&
	git ls-files -s >expect &&
	git ls-files --format="$format" >actual &&
	test_cmp expect actual

I do not know if the $format I wrote without looking at the doc is
correct, but you get the idea.

Thanks.
