DESCRIPTION
Looks at the current cache and checks to see if merges or
updates are needed by checking stat() information.
+-q::
+ Quiet. If --refresh finds that the cache needs an update, the
+ default behavior is to error out. This option makes
+ git-update-index continue anyway.
+
+--unmerged::
+ If --refresh finds unmerged changes in the cache, the default
+ behavior is to error out. This option makes git-update-index
+ continue anyway.
+
--ignore-missing::
Ignores missing files during a --refresh
--cacheinfo <mode> <object> <path>::
Directly insert the specified info into the cache.
+--index-info::
+ Read index info from stdin.
+
+--chmod=(+|-)x::
+ Set the execute permissions on the updated files.
+
--info-only::
Do not create objects in the object database for all
<file> arguments that follow this flag; just insert
read list of paths from the standard input. Paths are
separated by LF (i.e. one path per line) by default.
+--verbose::
+ Report what is being added and removed from index.
+
-z::
Only meaningful with `--stdin`; paths are separated with
NUL character instead of LF.
