I think index is HEAD or a revision hash. Am I correct ?
HEAD is a reference to a branch name:
$ cat .git/HEAD
ref: refs/heads/master
$
The branch name is a reference to a commit:
$ cat .git/refs/heads/master
a80aad7b85fc560451e07792d64ab6cb15a39914
$
The index is what will be committed by 'git commit'.
Obviously alot more to learn about GIT, hopefully the O'Reilly book will
clue me up as I am still getting problems with using GIT properly.
Thanks Nicolas,
Aaron
