I am not sure "works as well" is a good enough justification to choose a Porcelain command over a plumbing command in this particular context. After all, filter-branch is a scripting enviornment, isn't it? There also is another subtle difference. "git rm" takes pathspecs while "update-index" takes paths. So after running one of these commands: $ git rm --cached 'Makefil?' $ git update-index --force-remove 'Makefil?' output from: $ git diff --cached --stat would be different. -- 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
