The patch looks correct to me though we're stepping on the border
here. Linux's PATH_MAX is 4k and Git already has hard time dealing
with >=4k paths (even when a single path component is less than 4k).

or

BLOB=$(git hash-object -w -t blob --stdin </dev/null)
git update-index --cacheinfo 100644 $BLOB $a

I don't think git cares much in these tests and using empty tree sha-1
may even work (git recognizes that sha-1 automatically), but it may
hurt the reader..
