Er, wait a minute... "git checkout <tree-ish> <pathspec>" modifies the index? Damn, I've been using git for years and I never knew that. I thought it only modified the working tree. But I just tested, and it does. Damn, now I have to figure out how to "leapfrog" a file from history into the working tree without overwriting the index; that's occasionally useful. -- 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
