The '192366843f474717330b743f88836af782d900b8' is a hash of new main.cpp 
content:

  git hash-object main.cpp
    192366843f474717330b743f88836af782d900b8

But since we have just created this file, it is not yet presented in the object 
database of the git.

  git show 192366843f474717330b743f88836af782d900b8
    fatal: bad object 192366843f474717330b743f88836af782d900b8

It seems, that the problem was exhibited after the following changes:

The problem is with any change for me. hash_after is set even if file is not 
committed or added to staged area.

Chris had fixed it for the "commit first, upload after" use case. We do not 
support uncommitted changes but that was never specifically claimed in the tool.

I'm fine with supporting alternate workflows if desired, as long as the 
"commit" workflow still work.

By default the 'git diff' is executed to inspect uncommitted changes. How come 
that default is not the supported workflow?

fyi. I submitted a patch that would fix this, Issue 108430043.
