read-tree: --prefix=<path>/ option.
With "--prefix=<path>/" option, read-tree keeps the current index contents, and reads the contents of named tree-ish under directory at `<prefix>`. The original index file cannot have anything at the path `<prefix>` itself, and have nothing in `<prefix>/` directory. This can be used to graft an independent tree into a subdirectory of the current index. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
