[saneef]

Is this due to some previously botched git commit? If that is the case, how would I clear those files?

[saneef]

I deleted the file .git/info/lefthook-unstaged.patch and it worked fine.

[mrexox]

Thank you for creating this bug. This is indeed a real problem with lefthook, I will try to fix it with the next release.

[technicalpickles]

I've been seeing this as well. The way we say it exposed was that pre-commit was failing for files that weren't actually staged.

Confirmed that deleting it fixes it. Would it be worth deleting this file everytime a pre-commit hook runs?
