I wondered if the next step would be to lose the "lock" parameter
from {hold,write}_locked_index() and have them work on a
process-global lock, but that would not work well.
The reason why this patch works is because we are only working with
a single destination (i.e. $GIT_INDEX_FILE typically .git/index),
right?
Interesting.
