I can't seem to write reasonable documentation at this hour, so no patch yet, but here are some pointers so I don't forget. * <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/94651> and the rest of the thread explain the philosophy. Scripts are supposed to run "update-index --refresh" in advance themselves. * The second-to-last NOTE in git-diff-index(1) describes similar behavior. * Maybe git-diff-files(1) should just defer to git-diff-index(1) for documentation (e.g. "like diff-index's default mode, but compares the working copy to the index instead of to a named tree object").
