Well, you didn't say so, did you?
Also, we don't know what subdir you were doing this in, but I bet it has
a 7-character name...
I can't reproduce that name truncation with a current git, btw. (So I
won't bother bisecting where we removed a spurious offset by "prefix".)
In any case, I still think git should allow partial commits with staged
deletions from within a subdir, which is what my patch is about.
