This fixes part of the problem.  Nothing gets written to the index now, 
however, I get no list of what files would have been added.  That is 
what I would have suspected.  Am I reading the docs incorrectly?

Since the other code path for show_only, does not end up in finish but 
returns 0 directly, I'm assuming the same could be done here (after 
printing the changed files) to save some cycles.
