For anyone interested: turns out passing -o noforget makes fuse keep a
persistent path -> inode mapping (at the cost of memory usage, of
course).

However, it also turns out that fuse wasn't my problem: It was the aufs
mount that was overlayed over my fuse mount (this was on a Debian live
system), which sets the noxino option that prevents aufs from keeping
persistent inode numbers.

To get git status working as expected, I had to both remove noxino from
the aufs mount and add noforget to the underlying fuse mount.
