If --refresh finds unmerged changes in the index, the default

When these flags are specified, the object name recorded

sets and unsets the "assume unchanged" bit for the
filesystem that has very slow lstat(2) system call
(e.g. cifs).

Runs `git-update-index` itself on the paths whose index
entries are different from those from the `HEAD` commit.
The command honors `core.filemode` configuration variable. If
your repository is on an filesystem whose executable bits are

+unreliable, this should be set to 'false' (see linkgit:git-config[1]).
This causes the command to ignore differences in file modes recorded
in the index and the file mode on the filesystem if they differ only on
executable bit. On such an unfortunate filesystem, you may
need to use `git-update-index --chmod=`.
Quite similarly, if `core.symlinks` configuration variable is set
