When you remove a directory D that has a tracked file D/F out of the
way to create a file D and try to "git update-index --add D", it used
to say "cannot add" which was not very helpful. This issues an extra
error message to explain the situation before the final "fatal" message.
Since D/F conflicts are relatively rare event, extra verbosity would
not make things too noisy.
