I mean that this is not a useful technique for speeding up git-diff anymore (assuming you have not tinkered with autorefreshindex, in which case I assume you know what you are doing and don't need this tip). Did you think I meant "there is no speedup with autorefreshindex off", or are you arguing that even with the new diff behavior there is still a speedup in "git status; git diff" over just "git status"? -Peff - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
