Side note. I do not think --index and --cached are a good pair of words to express the different semantics (the former works on the working tree through the index, the latter works only on the cached data and not on the working tree). I was only pointing out that making 'diff --index' a synonym to 'diff --cached' closes the door for the possibility to have these two semantics that are consistently spelled (well, maybe "confusingly spelled", but still consistently) between diff and apply. - 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
