As long as "Only in the index" aspect of the name is kept, I do not
think the exact phrasing matters all that match. The distinction
between "apply --cached" vs "apply --index" must be expressable even
if you swap "--cached" with something else.
Would it be simpler to remove the label "obsoleted" from the name,
and remove the "--staged" synonym?
