The way "git-update-index" handles files it is told about can be modified
using the various options:
default behavior is to error out. This option makes
git-update-index continue anyway.

--unmerged::
If --refresh finds unmerged changes in the index, the default

Files to act on.
Note that files beginning with '.' are discarded. This includes
- `./file` and `dir/./file`. If you don't want this, then use

cleaner names.
The same applies to directories ending '/' and paths with '//'
The command honors `core.filemode` configuration variable. If
your repository is on an filesystem whose executable bits are
-unreliable, this should be set to 'false' (see gitlink:git-config[1]).
+unreliable, this should be set to 'false' (see linkgit:git-config[1]).
This causes the command to ignore differences in file modes recorded
in the index and the file mode on the filesystem if they differ only on
executable bit. On such an unfortunate filesystem, you may
need to use `git-update-index --chmod=`.
Quite similarly, if `core.symlinks` configuration variable is set
-to 'false' (see gitlink:git-config[1]), symbolic links are checked out
+to 'false' (see linkgit:git-config[1]), symbolic links are checked out
as plain files, and this command does not modify a recorded file mode
from symbolic link to regular file.
