Merge branch 'en/t3433-rebase-stat-dirty-failure' into maint

The merge-recursive machinery failed to refresh the cache entry for
a merge result in a couple of places, resulting in an unnecessary
merge failure, which has been fixed.

* en/t3433-rebase-stat-dirty-failure:
  merge-recursive: fix the refresh logic in update_file_flags
  t3433: new rebase testcase documenting a stat-dirty-like failure
