One option would be using the first patch, but instead of mkstemp(), NamedTemporaryFile(dir=NMBGIT, prefix="nmbug.index") to be used instead (and then path.name and index.name in place of path and index...)

It would seem this causes 'nmbug status' to output just one result. I'll leave the fix to someone with more Python experience.

It's better to put the temporary index in $GIT_DIR due to this bit noted
in git-read-tree(1):
The file must allow to be rename(2)ed into from a temporary file
that is created next to the usual index file; typically this means
it needs to be on the same filesystem as the index file itself, and
you need write permission to the directories the index file and
index output file are located in.
So, assuming NMBGIT matches $GIT_DIR, perhaps change the above mkstemp
call to something like
_tempfile.mkstemp(dir=NMBGIT, prefix="nmbug", suffix=".index")
