Re: git commit --verbose shows incorrect diff when pre-commit hook is used to modify files
At the time you see the diff the committing of changes has not yet been initiated. It's only after you type in the message that the ACTUAL committing starts and the hook runs.
You can print the diff of what your hook has changed by running "git diff" in it before adding changes.
