Is this done so that "git show-index" fails when the .idx file fed
is malformed?  Or is it a leftover debugging aid, where a human
developer was helped by eyeballing the contents of the .idx file in
human readable form?  If the latter, do we perhaps want to "parse"
the output the same way in this test to validate our expectation?
