If the problem is with the index as the staging area for commits (i.e. .git/index), you can simply remove the index (make a backup copy if you want), and then restore index to version in the last commit. On SourceTree shell run:

On OSX/Linux:

rm -f .git/index
git reset

On Windows:

del .git\index
git reset

If you are using SourceTree for your Git, then go to "Actions" --> Open in Terminal or (Shift + Alt + T). Terminal will get opened then type "$ git config --global --add safe.directory D:/Users/userName/work/workspace/workspace"

It works !!!
