Hi,

after having read tutorial1+2, I thought the following were more or les=
s=20
synonyms: index ~ directory cache ~ staging area

But then I discover that --cache and --staged are two different things,=
=20
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 glossa=
ry?

TIA for clarification/pointer.
