Third-party tools that modify your .git/ folder are incompatible with VFS for Git. Only tools using the version of Git installed on the PATH will be compatible.

This signal is a sign that TortoiseGit is directly manipulating the index file, which would disrupt the virtualization layer. The GVFS.Mount process is holding a handle on the .git/index file to prevent this exact scenario.
