I'm just learning Git so I don't yet know how to submit this as a patch, but I'm reading the Git Book to get myself started and I think there is a mistake on the page at:

http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Basics-Recording-Changes-to-the-Repository

It says: "For another example, if you stage the benchmarks.rb file and then edit it, you can use git diff to see the changes in the file that are staged and the changes that are unstaged:"

I believe this should say "git status" rather than "git diff".
