"git commit" can be used in two different workflows:
- the user never bothers with "git add" and uses "git commit" for
both adding content to the index and committing it
- the user uses "git add" to carefully prepare what they want to
commit, and "git commit" creates a new commit out of the current
index. In this case "git commit" does not modify the index at all.
The user could switch between the two workflows of course, and
mistakes can happen that lead to content loss. Imagine the user has
prepared the index with 'git add -p' (second workflow), which makes
the index content different from both HEAD and worktree. If they
accidentally do "git commit -a" (first workflow) after that, all the
preparation is gone because "git commit" clobbers the index.
Prevent this by checking the staged content when runnning "commit -a"
or "commit <path>". If the staged content is different from both HEAD
and the worktree version, abort the commit. The user can still
override this by giving "--clobber-index" option.
