I fully agree with the two patches (that's what I've been arguing for hours last time we talked about it, so no big surprise ;-) ). One documentation nitpick : Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> writes: > +diff.autorefreshindex:: > + When using `git diff` to compare with work tree > + files, do not consider stat-only change as changed. > + Instead, silently run `git update-index --refresh` I'd rather avoid talking about plumbing in the documentation of porcelain, so I'd say "silently refreshes the index's stat information". But I'm arguably wrong on that point, I let you decide.
