{- 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.
