Thanks Martin and Junio for the comments on the previous round. Changes compared to the previous round: - Document that when failing to refresh the index, the result won't be written to disk. - Rollback the lock file if refreshing the index fails, so we don't end up with a lock file that can't be rolled back or committed after the function returns - Some small tweaks in the commit message and documentation of the function.
