added testing for it
closes #813

[MarcelBeining]

hm guys, I am not that into testing to understand why the tests failed in some environments, maybebe you can help me. =/ thanks

The only thing I see is that in AppVeyor, the test fails when I try to remove the added file again from the index with
stderr: 'fatal: pathspec 'git\test\test_index.py' did not match any files
however why is this file there in some environments but not there in others?

Thanks a lot for your contribution! Indeed, tests usually fail for PRs, which doesn't make things easy for contributors - my apologies.
The new test added here seems to work, so I am optimistic it will be fine when merged.

There is some added code duplication which I believe can mostly be avoided, please see the line comments for details.
