Apparently this was added, at least to the docs, only in the latest release? That's kind of weird A) because the tag indicates 1.6.0.1, not 0.6, and B) It's a pretty trivial operation in other VCSes. Hmm... Maybe I'll try to updated the docs to make this feature a little more visible. Anyway, the checkout-index command does indeed work in the older version. That's kind of what I was looking for. I'm now working on compiling git under cygwin as the latest version cygwin installs for you is 0.4!
