True, and I admit I didn't know there was an option to change that. OTOH git-diff-files doesn't normally update the index even if the option is set. Should I ask 'git diff --exit-code --raw' or some such instead?

(Why would people want to keep the stat info dirty even though there may not have been any changes?)
