git update-index is really not user-friendly. That is why we have "git add". It is commonly used as a porcelain _instead of_ update-index.

FWIW your list is lacking log and diff, the two commands which are my top two. I do not use rebase all that often (before --interactive, that is). status, grep, mv, gc, show and branch are others I use quite often (although not as much as log and diff)
