If there is no staging - no commit, then you're right. But then you don't have to mention index at all: --refresh:: Don't add the file(s), but only refresh their stat() information. I completely agree with Pete Harlan - for normal user git internals are not relevant - index is just part of git. How or where the stat information is refreshed does not matter. In the same way you don't write that it's done by function refresh_index(). > Hoping that is clearer.
