The first command will remove the entries from the index entirely, and the second one will return them to their state in HEAD. So _if_ the existing commit in HEAD did not have the files at all, the two are identical. But if the files were committed previously, then the second command will return them to that state, not remove them entirely. Does that make sense? -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
