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 am not an "old timer", but I believe that it's because what we now
know as "the index" was original called "the cache". See:
<http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitHistory>
You're probably right that the option name is confusing, I guess
changing it to "--index" would be a good idea, continuing to support
"--cached" but marking it as deprecated before finally removing it at
some point in the future.
Cheers,
Wincent
