I suggest expanding/clarifying the documentation for git-update-index --refresh. For example: "If a file's mtime has changed, but its contents have not, then update-index --refresh will update the index to reflect the new mtimes." -- 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
