So I cloned StGit and guilt (the two porcelains that I feel are most used, apart from what is in git.git, and I'm too lazy to find that mail analysing the recent Git survey). Neither of them has any --index-info in their complete history. So I'm more confident now that there is no need to keep --index-info. Ciao, Dscho
