Passing -q --unmerged prevents update-index from erroring out when local file changes are present.
>From git-update-index(1): -q Quiet. If --refresh finds that the index needs an update, the default behavior is to error out. This option makes git update-index continue anyway. --unmerged If --refresh finds unmerged changes in the index, the default behavior is to error out. This option makes git update-index continue anyway.
