I was about to point to https://public-inbox.org/git/20170921043214.pyhdsrpy4omy54rm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ about exactly this thing. :) That said, I wonder if this use case is an illustration that a name like --no-lock-index (as was used in Git for Windows when this feature first appeared) or --no-refresh-on-disk-index (sorry, I am terrible at coming up with option names) would make the feature easier to discover.
