[PATCH] update-cache: add "--ignore-missing" option
This adds an --ignore-missing option to update-cache, which makes it
ignore missing files. Together with the "-n" option to checkout-cache,
it allows me to do
checkout-cache -n -f -a && update-cache --ignore-missing --refresh
which only updates and refreshes the files I already have checked out.
