Thank you @asottile for the tooling and apologies for the earlier spamming.

It is possible to get to a state where diff-index shows that there is a diff, but there is nothing to commit.
For example, when overwriting a file with its current context.

Experiment:

$ echo hello > foo.txt
$ git add foo.txt
$ git diff-index --no-ext-diff HEAD --
:000000 100644 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ce013625030ba8dba906f756967f9e9ca394464a A      foo.txt
$ git commit -m "Add foo.txt"
[experiment b237cf0] Add foo.txt
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
 create mode 100644 foo.txt
$ git diff-index --no-ext-diff HEAD --
$ echo hello > foo.txt
$ git diff-index --no-ext-diff HEAD --
:100644 100644 ce013625030ba8dba906f756967f9e9ca394464a 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 M      foo.txt
$ git commit -a
On branch experiment
nothing to commit, working tree clean
$

This scenario led to a confusing error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/runner/work/_actions/pre-commit-ci/lite-action/v1.0.2/bin/main", line 298, in <module>
    raise SystemExit(main())

This change refreshes the index before diff-ing it, avoiding the error.
