After looking at the codepath that uses the record_intent_to_add()
before this patch, I am coming to the conclusion that it is the
right thing to do after all.  The code appears in this section:

	if (!intent_only) {
		if (index_path(ce->sha1, path, st, HASH_WRITE_OBJECT))
			return error("unable to index file %s", path);
	} else
		record_intent_to_add(ce);

which tells (at least) me: "We are not adding the contents of this
path, so we do not run index_path(); instead we call this helper
function to set the object name in ce to represent an intent-to-add
entry".

So I'll rename it to set_object_name_for_intent_to_add_entry() or
something, restore that flag manipulation back to the caller, and
add another to the new caller, and requeue.
