t7001: add failure test which triggers assertion
`git mv a/a.txt a b/` is a nonsense instruction. Instead of failing
gracefully the command trips over itself,[1] leaving behind unfinished
work:
1. first it moves `a/a.txt` to `b/a.txt`; then
2. tries to move `a/`, including `a/a.txt`; then
3. figures out that it’s in a bad state (assertion); and finally
4. aborts.
Now you’re left with a partially-updated index.
The command should instead fail gracefully and make no changes to the
index until it knows that it can complete a sensible action.
For now just add a failing test since this has been known about for
a while.[2]
† 1: Caused by a `pos >= 0` assertion
