Hi all, I'm having and interesting discussion with an happy mercurial users which started reading the git documentation. He raised aquestion that I'm not able to answer: > $ git diff --cached > > (Without —cached, git-diff(1) will show you any changes that you've > made but not yet added to the index.) You can also get a brief summary > of the situation with git-status(1): Why do we have the option "--cached" and not "--index"? I believe that, just reading the documentation, is not very easy to fully understand the role of the index and then we have an option "--cached" that refers to the index. Is it a good idea to add and document an option "--index" and remove from the doc the option "--cached"? Thanks.
