Er, please, a bit of consideration. It's not superstition, it's not a disease.
I _want to use the index_: I want to stage changes, and then make more
changes, and just generally be able to treat these three states (HEAD,
indexed, non-indexed) as points which can be used as inputs to git-diff
-- and I want _applyable patch files_ as the output from git-diff, not
pretty diffs for browsing.
Thanks,
-Miles
