This is explicitely stated in the git-rm manpages: --cached: Use this = option to unstage and remove paths only from the index. Working tree fi= les, whether modified or not, will be left alone. > A single term for cache and index should be decided upon. > git diff --cached is not intuitive when 'index' is used > throughout the documentation.=20 The changes are "cached" in the "Index". But I wouldn't name the "Index= " really a "Cache" because it is a lot more. All comments for --cached = in the manpages mention the Index mechanism.=20 Additionally there is a more detailed introduction to the Index in sect= ion 7 (Git concepts) of the Git User's Manual=20 LieGrue, strub __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
