That was my impression from the docs, but then I saw this comment,

/*
* Re-read the index as pre-commit hook could have updated it,
* and write it out as a tree.  We must do this before we invoke
* the editor and after we invoke run_status above.
*/

which comes from 2888605 (builtin-commit: fix partial-commit support -
2007-11-18) that admits "the hook can modify it (the index)". And I
was about to update the docs, but the other way around, about updating
index and side effects.
