This is where I also think the options are messed up.
If I want to work with the "index", shouldn't I use... uhh... "--index"?
If I want to work with both, shouldn't I use something like "--both"?
"And if --index works with the workcopy and index, will --cache use both,
the workcopy and the cache?"
To a new user like me, these options don't look like they refer to different
actions, but to different existing things. Those options say that there is
an index, and there is a cache.
(Now I learned all of this through reading the docs which is not hard, but
reading this from the man pages is not intuitive at all.)
