False reporting of Working tree clean. Nothing to commit.

[theofficialgman]

workflow: https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/actions/runs/7676529394/workflow

working tree is checked for any changes with git diff HEAD --name-only and the output is

apps/Oh My Posh/install
apps/Pycharm CE/install-64

https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/actions/runs/7676529394/job/20924363545#step:5:41 these are files that already exist in the git repo but have been modified.

however running EndBug/add-and-commit@v9 results in a false report that the working tree is clean.

removing the with

          fetch: false
          add: '--refresh'

works around this issue (not ideal since I do not want to add any potential new files to the repo). however now the same issue as mentioned here occurs -> https://github.com/stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action/issues/317

Hey, thanks for opening this issue! Does this also happen if you use add: '-A'?
