That is the question, isn't it? You would never know. Many people, strange as it sounds, do not write to this list when they encounter problems with Git. They vent on their blogs, not giving us a chance, and other people comment "Me too"s. One of the most important features of Git used to be its scriptability, and I think that many hackers just love Git for it, even new hackers. So it is probably not unheard of that someone wrote an update hook or a cronjob using the output of "update-index --refresh". But those people are probably not on this list, or not following every thread, or they even forgot how/that they implemented such a hook/cronjob. Ergo: we would not know if scripts break. Until it is too late.
