This is orthogonal to what this patch does, as this is supposed to
be just bug-for-bug compatible rewrite.

But I wonder if the above sequence, whether it is done as a series
of plumbing invocations or subroutine calls, is a relic dating back
in the days before i-t-a existed.  If we want to revert the changes
to the index for working tree files for removed or modified ones, I
do not offhand see a good reason why we would want to keep the
contents to new paths---if i-t-a were available when the sequence
was designed, I suspect we would just have added the path as i-t-a
in order to keep track of the presence of the path but not
necessarily the contents in it.
