Thanks for the tip (I guess I can roll my own "git-diff-uncached" script)! The above sort of quirkiness does seem kind of a wart though; in my (admittedly limited, using git) experience this sort of thing really reduces the utility of the index, and I often end up feeling like it's just getting in the way as a result. Does adding something like a "git-diff -N" option seem a _bad_ idea? Thanks, -Miles -- "Suppose He doesn't give a shit? Suppose there is a God but He just doesn't give a shit?"
