This makes git-applymbox verify that the index matches the current HEAD
before it starts applying patches.
Otherwise, you might have updated the index with unrelated changes, and
the first patch will commit not just the patch from the mbox, but also any
changes you had in your index.

This was brough on by: Tony Luck's problem, which _might_ be due to index
file change contents that got committed together with a real patch. This
will make it much harder to make that particular mistake.
