Thomas Rast f0c73200e8 Test 'commit --only' after 'checkout --orphan' ...

There are some index handling subtleties in 'commit --only' that are
best tested when we have an existing index, but an unborn or empty
HEAD.  These circumstances are easily produced by 'checkout --orphan',
but we did not previously have a test for it.

The main expected failure mode would be: erroneously loading the
existing index contents when building the temporary index that is used
for --only.  Cf.

and subsequent discussion.
