git-status: do not be totally useless in a read-only repository.
This makes git-status work semi-decently in a read-only
repository. Earlier, the command simply died with "cannot lock
the index file" before giving any useful information to the
user.
Because index won't be updated in a read-only repository,
stat-dirty paths appear in the "Changed but not updated" list.
