Thanks this works for me, while the other workaround seems to have issues:

bash-3.1$ git status
fatal: unable to create '.git/index.lock': Read-only file system
bash-3.1$ git update-index --refresh
fatal: unable to create '.git/index.lock': Read-only file system
bash-3.1$ git runstatus
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#
#       modified:   .gitignore
#       modified:   README
#       modified:   exception_manager.txt

#       src/object_script.qgit_bin.Release

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")


bash-3.1$  git-runstatus --refresh
# On branch master

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
bash-3.1$

Running 'git runstatus' alone shows _all_ the repo files, although are
not modified and not touched. With 'git runstatus' --refresh'
everything seems ok.

Please could you apply your patch before 1.5 so that I can update qgit
and change prerequisite git version to 1.5.

Thanks
