Treat an unreadable index as if option to ignore index computations was passed. Instead of reporting no-repo, basic repo info will be reported.
Add 30th entry to response which is 1 if index computations are disabled OR the index cannot be read, 0 otherwise. The requester, knowing the requests contents, can determine if the index could not be read while still receiving repository information that is avaliable.

Less of a serious PR and more of a question, if the index is unreadable (ie
core.splitIndexis enabled) then why doesgitstatusreport no repo? It means that a command prompt won't show any information where it would have otherwise if the 'ignore index computations' option was given. Wouldn't it be a better user experience if we fall back to that instead?Changes
Tested on darwin-x86 only.
Thank you for this work. An inspirational read.
