Today, git status played violin on my nerves for the very last time.
There is no good reason, really none, for git status to require
write permissions.  If the index is not up-to-date, so be it, I
cannot commit anyway.

I agree it is annoying, but this patch does not apply (and is no longer
needed) on master since the status-is-no-longer-commit-dry-run series
has been merged.

I was working on top of 'next'.  And only after I fetched afresh from 
git://repo.or.cz/git.git/.

To be precise, the commit I based mine on is 
2cd0ddca4b6f2ff24fcd7b24030c97ec20ead85c which was done on Mon Jan 18 
18:34:16 2010 -0800 according to Git.

Ciao,
