I'm not able to understand this.  Doesn't your prompt tell you which
directory you're in, and if you're in a git repository?  When you type
out paths, you know what is inside and what is outside your
repository.  By extension, you know when --no-index is implied and
when it isn't.

Can you explain what your problem is?
