Ah, that is completely different. :) Your tools would be
GIT_INDEX_FILE=$GIT_DIR/wip-index; export GIT_INDEX_FILE
git update-index ...
git write-tree
git commit-tree ...
git update-ref ...
git read-tree ...
none of which touch HEAD except the second to last one.
See the list of "low-level commands (plumbing)" and examples in
contrib/examples for more details.
