redis-om-node Redis V8 Creation of new Index via Redis OM

Hi I've just found a small issue. When creating a new index targeting the latest release of Redis version 8 I get the redis client error "no such index" and it fails there.

I've tracked it to the lib/repository/repository.ts createIndex function specifically the section of code that compares the currentHash to the incoming hash when creating a new index the currentHash is always null so i just added a an in statement and made the dropIndex optional.

 if (currentIndexHash !== incomingIndexHash) {
      if (currentIndexHash) {
        await this.dropIndex();
      }

please let me know if this could be incoperated into a new release that would work with redis version 8.

According to https://github.com/redis-stack/redis-stack:

We will stop releasing maintainance releases of Redis Stack (6.2, 7.2, and 7.4) on December 2025.

This means redis-om-node will be considered a deprecated package in a few months if this issue is not fixed 🫤

What can we do to prevent that?
