Subject: "stage files" vs "cached files"
Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2006 15:45:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <eh7vl2$unr$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)

Hi,

after having read tutorial1+2, I thought the following were more or less 
synonyms: index ~ directory cache ~ staging area

But then I discover that --cache and --staged are two different things, 
notably when using ls-files.

The documentation states indeed:
  "--cached   Show cached files in the output"
  "--stage    Show stage files in the output"

I'm a bit confused. Is maybe a "stage file" entry missing in the glossary?

TIA for clarification/pointer.
Jérôme
