Those are so long that nobody will ever use them though...

One of my big peeves is simply that "git diff --cached" is too long, as
it's an extremely common command (the name isn't exactly intuitive, even
after many years of use, but it's just one of those things you
memorize).

Is there a reason a short version of --cached couldn't be added to
git-diff...?  E.g. "git diff -c"?

Thanks,

-Miles
