"git apply", like most plumbing, does not automatically refresh the
index file even if it is only stat-dirty. So unless the two "cp"
commands in reset_preimage() for a given file happen to have the same
time stamp, there will be a spurious

error: sub/dir/file: does not match index

Refresh the index to eliminate this timing dependency. Noticed by
running the test with --valgrind (which slows things down a lot).
