A flag "--staged" that means "staged changes and changes in the work tree"
is no worse than the current "--index".  If we were to shoot for clarity,
how about --staged-only (aka --cached) vs --staged-and-unstaged (aka --index)?

I am actually actively unhappy about the latter, but I like more
descriptive --staged-only for the former a lot better.
