lint-staged 10.0.1 fails with no reason on a newly created repo

Description

On the initial repository commit, lint-staged fails for unknown reason (also with --debug no information or error is shown)

Steps to reproduce

1. create a new project, using latest version 10.0.1 and try to commit

mkdir helloworld
cd helloworld
git init
echo '{"name":"helloworld","version":"1.0.0","private":true,"husky":{"hooks":{"pre-commit":"lint-staged"}},"lint-staged":{"*.js":["prettier"]}}' > package.json
echo node_modules > .gitignore
npm i --save-dev husky lint-staged prettier
echo 'console.log(123)' > x.js
git add -A
git commit -m 'commit1'

This happens, “Skipped because of previous git error”.

Output:

husky > pre-commit (node v13.5.0)

  ✖ lint-staged failed due to a git error.
    Any lost modifications can be restored from a git stash:

    > git stash list
    stash@{0}: On master: automatic lint-staged backup
    > git stash pop stash@{0}

This can be fixed after the first --no-fix commit for example doing this:

git commit -m 'commit2' --no-fix
echo 'console.log(123456)' > x.js
git add -A
git commit -m 'commit3'

Output:

husky > pre-commit (node v13.5.0)

If you’re up for it, sure. Another possibility would be to have your script create an empty initial commit: git commit --no-verify --allow-empty -m "initial commit".
