Exclude files deleted from the working tree from all_files - #905

`overcommit --run` checks every file `git ls-files` lists, which includes tracked files that were deleted but whose deletion is not staged. Hooks then fail trying to read them (e.g. JsonSyntax raises 'No such file or directory'). Skip the files `git ls-files --deleted` reports.

Older Git versions can resurrect staged deletions and old rename paths as untracked files while commit hooks run. The scripted `git stash --keep-index` resets the working tree to HEAD, then restores the index without removing those paths, so tools such as RSpec can discover obsolete files.
Stash normally and restore the staged tree with `git read-tree --reset -u stash@{0}^2`. This updates the index and working tree without moving HEAD. If restoring the staged tree fails, stop before running hooks and retain the stash for recovery. Only restore it when this run actually created a stash.
Fixes the original normal-commit report in #699; the separate `overcommit --run` case was addressed in #905.
The added examples exposed a coverage-reporting problem: round-robin shard assignments shift when tests are added, so per-shard coverage comparisons can fail despite higher total coverage. CI now collects every shard's LCOV report and submits them together for one complete-suite coverage comparison. All test matrix jobs still run, and missing coverage artifacts fail the build.
Validation:
- Full suite: 1,750 examples, zero failures.
- All pre-commit checks and RuboCop pass.
- Added 12 examples covering pre-commit and commit-message contexts, current and emulated legacy stash behavior, complete state restoration, existing stashes, and setup failure recovery. No existing tests were removed.
- Confirmed setup and cleanup against Git 2.20's actual stash script, with its legacy text-output helper restored for compatibility with current Git.
- Confirmed the old-name regression tests fail before the fix.
Fixes #699.

Refs #699: this fixes the
overcommit --runcase narrowed down in #699 (comment) and #699 (comment). The renamed-file behaviour in the original report (during a normal commit) is not changed here.GitRepo.all_filesreturns everythinggit ls-fileslists. That includes a tracked file that has been deleted from the working tree when the deletion is not staged yet.overcommit --runusesall_filesas its list of modified files, so every hook that reads itsapplicable_filesthen fails on that path. WithJsonSyntaxenabled:all_filesnow drops the pathsgit ls-files --deletedreports. This uses Git's own view rather thanFile.exist?, so a tracked broken symlink is still listed (theBrokenSymlinkshook needs it).included_files(used by the pre-pushMinitesthook) goes throughall_filestoo, so it no longer passes a deleted file either.Tests
A new context in
spec/overcommit/git_repo_spec.rbdeletes a committed file without staging the deletion and checks thatall_filesno longer includes it but still includes the other files.Run on macOS with Ruby 4.0.7 and Git 2.54.0:
bundle exec rspec spec/overcommit/git_repo_spec.rb -e '.all_files':4 examples, 1 failurewithlib/overcommit/git_repo.rbfrom main (the new "is expected not to include .../tracked" example),4 examples, 0 failureswith the change.JsonSyntaxenabled, a committeda.jsondeleted from the working tree, thenovercommit --run: main fails withNo such file or directory @ rb_sysopen; with the change,[JsonSyntax] OK.bundle exec rspec:1659 examples, 4 failures. The same 4 examples fail on main: the git alias#amendment?examples inhook_context/commit_msg_spec.rb:134,140andhook_context/pre_commit_spec.rb:43,49, which look specific to this machine's Git (Apple Git).bundle exec rubocop: no offenses.Not run: anything on Windows or Linux.
