The read_cache() in prepare_to_commit() would end up clobbering the
pointer we had for a previously populated "the_index.cache_tree" in
the very common case of "git commit" stressed by e.g. the tests being
changed here.
We'd populate "the_index.cache_tree" by calling
"update_main_cache_tree" in prepare_index(), but would not end up with
a "fully prepared" index. What constitutes an existing index is
clearly overly fuzzy, here we'll check "active_nr" (aka
"the_index.cache_nr"), but our "the_index.cache_tree" might have been
malloc()'d already.
Thus the code added in 11c8a74a64 (commit: write cache-tree data when
writing index anyway, 2011-12-06) would end up allocating the
"cache_tree", and would interact here with code added in
7168624c35 (Do not generate full commit log message if it is not
going to be used, 2007-11-28). The result was a very common memory
leak.

The test prepares a simple commit with HT on its log message lines,
and makes sure that
- formats that should or should not expand tabs by default do or do
not expand tabs respectively,
- with explicit --expand-tabs=<N> and short-hands --expand-tabs
(equivalent to --expand-tabs=8) and --no-expand-tabs (equivalent
to --expand-tabs=0) before or after the explicit --pretty=$fmt,
the tabs are expanded (or not expanded) accordingly.
The tests use the second line of the log message for formats other
than --pretty=short, primarily because the first line of the email
format is handled specially to add the [PATCH] prefix, etc. in a
separate codepath (--pretty=short uses the first line because there
is no other line to test).
