This is for people who work by taking advantage of the power of the index file, i.e. perform "checking in without committing" by running update-index whenever the changes so-far look good. Combined use of "git diff --cached HEAD" (to look at diffs for paths other than paths...) and "git diff HEAD paths..." would be the _full_ "final sanity check", but in practice "git diff HEAD paths..." or even "git diff paths..." would be more useful for these people.

"git diff HEAD paths...". - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Sun Feb 05 16:59:37 2006
