"git add -u" updates the index with the updated contents from the working tree by internally running "diff-files" to grab the set of paths that are different from the index. Then it updates the index entries for the paths that are modified in the working tree, and deletes the index entries for the paths that are deleted in the working tree. It ignored the output from the diff-files that indicated that a path is unmerged. For these paths, it instead relied on the fact that an unmerged path is followed by the result of comparison between stage #2 (ours) and the working tree, and used that to update or delete such a path when it is used to record the resolution of a conflict. As the result, when a path did not have stage #2 (e.g. "we deleted while the other side added"), these unmerged stages were left behind, instead of recording what the user resolved in the working tree. Since we recently fixed "diff-files" to indicate if the corresponding path exists on the working tree for an unmerged path, we do not have to rely on the comparison with stage #2 anymore. We can instead tell the diff-files not to compare with higher stages, and use the unmerged output to update the index to reflect the state of the working tree. The changes to the test vector in t2200 illustrates the nature of the bug and the fix. The test expected stage #1 and #3 entries be left behind, but it was codifying the buggy behaviour.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
