Because git-status itself is conceptually a read-only operation, and 
having it barf on a read-only file system is justifiably a bug.

But I agree that attempting to fix it now is probably just too risky not 
to compromize the 1.5.0 release.  Better leave it as a known issue for 
v1.5.0 and fix it later... especially if there is a possible workaround 
in the mean time.
