Git status does not generate index.lock

Sebastian Englbrecht requested to merge englbrecht/dolphin-plugins:nolock_status into master

The git option (Note: not git status) --no-optional-locks prohibits the generation of the lockfile in read-only operation, thus not blocking other e.g. manually typed commands.

BUG: 363576

demo:

  1. open a cli and cd in a repo of your choice

  2. run: inotifywait --monitor -e create .git

  3. open dolphin with installed git plugin, change into same repo

  4. you should get a: .git/ CREATE index.lock

  5. with this patchset no such notification should be generated

Question: is there a "easy" way to develop/test the plugins? I did not find a way to install it via the dolphin gui, I had to find the files and copy mine over it.
