{- Gets value to set GIT_INDEX_FILE to. Input should be absolute path,
 - or relative to the CWD.
 -
 - When relative, GIT_INDEX_FILE is interpreted by git as being 
 - relative to the top of the work tree of the git repository,
 - not to the CWD. Worse, other environment variables (GIT_WORK_TREE)
 - or git options (--work-tree) or configuration (core.worktree)
 - can change what the relative path is interpreted relative to.
 -
 - So, an absolute path is the only safe option for this to return.

{- When the pre-commit hook is run, and git commit has been run with
 - a file or files specified to commit, rather than committing the staged
 - index, git provides the pre-commit hook with a "false index file".
 -
 - Changes made to this index will influence the commit, but won't
 - affect the real index file.
 -
 - This detects when we're in this situation, using a heuristic, which
 - might be broken by changes to git. Any use of this should have a test
 - case to make sure it works.
