Solution: let's just take the file down from 'M' to 'A' :-).

That is, make the entry schedule=added (we can still display 'C'
during the update or switch, if we want, but after the operation is
over, the file would be scheduled for addition).

So, the user is less likely to accidentally lose changes, but is still
made aware that the file no longer exists in the repository head.
