Subject: git-diff-cache: add "-m" flag to match all non-checked-out files with the index.
X-Git-Tag: v0.99~641
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=160c8433d904340615bafd7757355618e99e20d5;p=git.git

git-diff-cache: add "-m" flag to match all non-checked-out files with the index.

This allows you to work with a directory tree that isn't fully populated,
without making diff-cache say that all the files are gone.
