Unfortunately this will wait for the git update-index command to
complete, making the GUI unresponsive while it executes, and that can
take minutes on a large repository (e.g. the linux kernel) on a
machine with a slow disk and a cold disk cache. We will need to make
the git update-index execute asynchronously.
