It's not really a misuse, as the [man page itself](http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-checkout-index.html) recommends using checkout-index as a way to export an entire tree. Until someone decides that it's worth making the porcelain command (like you perhaps) then I think you can just stick with checkout-index knowing you're not abusing anything. -- In Christ, Timmy V. http://burningones.com/ http://five.sentenc.es/ - Spend less time on e-mail -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
