Hello!
I just re-read the git-rm manpage and recognized git-rm knows about the --cached option. As in current git we do not talk about the cache, but about the index, it would imho make sense to rename --cache to --index in a user friendly way:
- add --index to git-rm - add --index to manpage of git-rm - still support --cached in git-rm - add hint in manpage that --cached is old naming style
I think naming it --index would make life more consistent for new users of git.
Now I'm interested in your opinion ;-)
Sincerly
Nico
