The git-update-index man page entry for -q says:
-q
Quiet. If --refresh finds that the index needs an
update, the default behavior is to error out. This
option makes git-update-index continue anyway.
Can someone explain this to me? As far as I can tell,
git-update-index without -q does not error out after the first
update.
