Description

Currently ScmManager.checkIn(...) behaves differently for the different git providers with respect to files which have not been added/removed with ScmManager API before.

This is related to SCM-970, but aims at making both git providers behave the same for the existing API.

The following table lists the status quo for modified files when ScmManager.checkIn(...) is performed

Provider	ScmManager.checkIn(...) with fileSet empty	ScmManager.checkIn(...) with fileSet not empty
git	index not modified prior commit	files in fileSet added to index prior commit
jgit	index updated for modified files prior commit	files in fileSet added to index prior commit
