I mean that this is not a useful technique for speeding up git-diff
anymore (assuming you have not tinkered with autorefreshindex, in which
case I assume you know what you are doing and don't need this tip).
Did you think I meant "there is no speedup with autorefreshindex off",
or are you arguing that even with the new diff behavior there is still a
speedup in "git status; git diff" over just "git status"?
