It's not superstition, it's not a disease. I _want to use the index_: I want to stage changes, and then make more changes, and just generally be able to treat these three states (HEAD, indexed, non-indexed) as points which can be used as inputs to git-diff -- and I want _applyable patch files_ as the output from git-diff, not pretty diffs for browsing.
