mingw: only test index entries for backslashes, not tree entries
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
During a clone of a repository that contained a file with a backslash in
its name in the past, as of v2.24.1(2), Git for Windows prints errors
like this:

	error: filename in tree entry contains backslash: '\'

While the clone still succeeds, a similar error prevents the equivalent
`git fetch` operation, which is inconsistent.

Arguably, this is the wrong layer for that error, anyway: As long as the
user never checks out the files whose names contain backslashes, there
should not be any problem in the first place.

So let's instead prevent such files to be added to the index.

This addresses #2435
