See this note from the git diff-index man page:
           Note
           As with other commands of this type, git diff-index does not
           actually look at the contents of the file at all. So maybe
           kernel/sched.c hasn’t actually changed, and it’s just that
you
           touched it. In either case, it’s a note that you need to git
           update-index it to make the index be in sync.

You can either add an update-index to your script, or use git status
--porcelain.
