virtualfilesystem: don't run the virtual file system hook if the index has been redirected

Fixes #13

Some git commands spawn helpers and redirect the index to a different
location.  These include "difftool -d" and the sequencer
(i.e. `git rebase -i`, `git cherry-pick` and `git revert`) and others.
In those instances we don't want to update their temporary index with
our virtualization data.
