that makes it clear. Thanks.

Yes, it is. :-)

I thought there would be no cache<->working directory delta generation. And I need a way to see if there are unchecked-in deltas in the working tree. So I thought about looking at the 'git-diff-cache --cached tree1' and comparing it with the self generated SHAs of the working tree. But now, that there is such a tool, I am perfectly fine.

Thanks,
