This is a good description of the problem the patch fixes.

Thanks!

As we're dealing with a repository that might be broken I suspect we'd 
be better to run "git update-index --unmerged -q --refresh" as a 
subprocess in the same way that we run "git diff-index" so that "git 
describe --broken" does not die if the index cannot be refreshed.

I see, that makes sense.  I will change it to launch `update-index` in a 
sub-process
instead.

Also apart from that, we should add a test to capture the changes.

That would be nice

Got it, I will add some tests as well.

Thanks
