BACKGROUND REFRESH
391
+
------------------
392
+
393
+
By default, `git status` will automatically refresh the index, updating
394
+
the cached stat information from the working tree and writing out the
395
+
result. Writing out the updated index is an optimization that isn't
396
+
strictly necessary (`status` computes the values for itself, but writing
397
+
them out is just to save subsequent programs from repeating our
398
+
computation). When `status` is run in the background, the lock held
399
+
during the write may conflict with other simultaneous processes, causing
400
+
them to fail. Scripts running `status` in the background should consider
401
+
using `git --no-optional-locks status` (see linkgit:git[1] for details).
