Yes, it is. :-)

I thought there would be no cache<->working directory delta generation.
And I need a way to see if there are unchecked-in deltas in the working
tree. So I thought about looking at the 'git-diff-cache --cached tree1'
and comparing it with the self generated SHAs of the working tree. But
now, that there is such a tool, I am perfectly fine.

Thanks,
