 Example: let's say I had renamed `commit.c` to `git-commit.c`, and I had
 done an "git-update-index" to make that effective in the index file.
 "git-diff-files" wouldn't show anything at all, since the index file

 In fact, "git-diff-index --cached" *should* always be entirely equivalent to
 actually doing a "git-write-tree" and comparing that. Except this one is much
 nicer for the case where you just want to check where you are.
 
 So doing a "git-diff-index --cached" is basically very useful when you are
