<pre>Perl warns of the use of an uninitialized variable in prepare-ChangeLog when the working copy has a non-empty new file staged for commit:
Use of uninitialized value $first_line in pattern match (m//) at Tools/Scripts/prepare-ChangeLog line 644.
Without loss of generality, you can reproduce this issue by running the following terminal commands inside the top-level directory of a Git checkout of the WebKit repository:
$ echo 'A' > A.txt
$ git add A.txt
$ Tools/Scripts/prepare-ChangeLog
Then you will see output of the form:
Running status to find changed, added, or removed files.
Reviewing diff to determine which lines changed.
Extracting affected function names from source files.
fatal: Path 'A.txt' exists on disk, but not in 'HEAD'.
Use of uninitialized value $first_line in pattern match (m//) at Tools/Scripts/prepare-ChangeLog line 644.
