+<div class="paragraph"><p>By default, <code>git status</code> will automatically refresh the index, updating

+the cached stat information from the working tree and writing out the

+result. Writing out the updated index is an optimization that isn&#8217;t

+strictly necessary (<code>status</code> computes the values for itself, but writing

+them out is just to save subsequent programs from repeating our

+computation). When <code>status</code> is run in the background, the lock held

+during the write may conflict with other simultaneous processes, causing

+them to fail. Scripts running <code>status</code> in the background should consider

+using <code>git --no-optional-locks status</code> (see <a href="git.html">git(1)</a> for details).</p></div>
