Subject: Usage of staging area instead of index still the way to go?
Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2016 11:30:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACA4a_Hmp-o2dDYRKd1tO0-nR5AebWOpgf5+VQ6vWV2Wcdd-NA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I was about to send patches to the Eclipse Git project to replace the
usage of "Index" with "Staging area" based on this thread:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/233469/ which
Matthias Sohn (Project lead of EGit) send me a while ago.

But the Git help seem to use still heavily "index" instead of "staging
area". Is "staging area" still considered as the correct term or has
time proven that index is better?

Best regards,Lars
