    This reverts commit 6147b1cf.
    
    The reverted patch results in attempted write access to the source
    repository, even if that repository is mounted read-only.
    
    Output from "strace git status -uno --porcelain":
    
    getcwd("/tmp/linux-test", 129)          = 16
    open("/tmp/linux-test/.git/index.lock", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_CLOEXEC, 0666) =
    	-1 EROFS (Read-only file system)
    
    While git appears to be able to handle this situation, a monitored
    build environment (such as the one used for Chrome OS kernel builds)
    may detect it and bail out with an access violation error. On top of
    that, the attempted write access suggests that git _will_ write to the
    file even if a build output directory is specified. Users may have the
    reasonable expectation that the source repository remains untouched in
    that situation.
