I think this goes in the wrong direction. For "newbies" the Porcelain-ish set is supposed to be enough and if there is something missing that they need to do update-index command itself or a pipeline that involves update-index to achieve common tasks, we should enhance Porcelain-ish that captures the pattern.

I think quick-ref for Porcelain writers would not hurt, but they have manuals.
