I've written a simple small program to dump out the index

`git-ls-files --stage` also dumps a number of those details, though
it doesn't dump every available field.
Thanks, that's handy.
However, when going through the core-tutorial (copying repository section)
and populating the index from the .git objects using git-read-tree,
it was nice to see all the stat fields using my program.
These fields were empty at that stage, of course, (it was nice to see it)
until I had populated the workarea using git-checkout-index.
But generally, git-ls-files --stage would be fine.
I just want to see what is exactly stored in the .git
binary files and how they change when I do various git
operations.
You may want to review some of the material in
Documentation/core-tutorial.txt and Documentation/technical.
These documents try to describe some of the formats but reviewing
them now it looks like there's still some additional information
that could be written down.
Thanks. I've been going through the core-tutorial.
It's great.
Cheers,
Tim.
