work around git segfault

Browse source 
Work around bug in git 2.37 that causes a segfault when when
core.untrackedCache is set, and broke git-annex init.

Depending on when git gets fixed and how widely the buggy versions are
used, this could be reverted quite soon, or need to linger for a long time.
It only makes git-annex init a tiny bit slower in a new repo.

Now 2 weeks since the segfault in git has been known, and they have not
fixed it.
Now feeling that it's might be worth git-annex init avoiding the
segfault, by making sure to do something that creates the index file before
write-tree. So I don't have to worry about when this gets fixed in git,
or the chances that a buggy release will start being widely used for a long
time.
Yeah, done so.
