Problem: Leo was amending a commit. His original commit added a file. His amend renamed that file. Overcommit was trying to run on the original file, which no longer existed (because it had been renamed).
Solution:
git stash # stash current changes
git reset HEAD^ # reset commit he was trying to amend
rm <file that was renamed>
git add -p
git commit # Use original commit message from gerrit, including change-id
git stash pop
git add -p
git add <new name for renamed file>
git commit --amend
This seems related to #146.
