Subject: Arguments for git update-index --refresh
Message-ID: <CAMbsUu7fqECH1b7-POot0mD4kwmT0pzAMJrXznSPgv9wfv1OwA@mail.gmail.com>

According to the manual of git-update-index
(https://git-scm.com/docs/git-update-index), --ignore-submodules must
be passed before --refresh to take effect. However, a real test shows
that -q and --ignore-missing also don't take effect when passed after
--refresh. I wonder if --refresh must be passed after all other
arguments, and the documentation may need a revision. I also wonder
what is the reason that --refresh must be passed after, and can't we
make it more flexible?
