Subject: "stage files" vs "cached files"
Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2006 15:45:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <eh7vl2$unr$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)
Hi,
after having read tutorial1+2, I thought the following were more or less
synonyms: index ~ directory cache ~ staging area
But then I discover that --cache and --staged are two different things,
notably when using ls-files.
The documentation states indeed:
"--cached Show cached files in the output"
"--stage Show stage files in the output"
I'm a bit confused. Is maybe a "stage file" entry missing in the glossary?
TIA for clarification/pointer.
Jérôme
