If necessary, better rewording to remove confusion is very much appreciated. "update-index <path>..." without options (that is "Default behaviour") updates the index using the contents of the named <path> found on the filesystem. It does _not_ add new paths to the index, nor remove paths (that exists in the index) from the index. Giving --add allows new paths to be added to the index if named paths are found on the filesystem. Giving --remove allows existing paths to be removed from the index if named paths are not found on the filesystem. - 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
