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. -- 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
