In https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/5723/files/fc46dc06f52f854f74371682f911f13856c68edb#r540092847, I was confused by the semantics of `git_index_find`. The documentation says both that it returns the output value in `at_pos` and that it returns it directly as an `int`. This is incorrect; the return value is only returned via `at_pos`.
