I'd like to support this, even if we decide it needs to be explicit with
an option. We'll need to create a temporary different git index, ask
that to be brought up to the current state of the working tree, ask for
a tree object to be created from that temporary index, and then hand the
ref of that tree to the existing build code. That is probably a separate
bug though.
