Actually some users have found that its easier to grok the index by using git-gui. You can more directly see the state of update actions, and it is fairly easy to stage/unstage individual hunks of files through git-gui. Once you get that down then seeking the same methods through the command line isn't too difficult, many of the terms in git-gui are the same as the command line term, to make the transition back and forth easier for the user. -- Shawn.
