Hi,

git diff-index is giving me incorrect information, however if I run git diff, then git diff-index again it will show the correct information. The steps are the following: $ git diff-index --name-only HEAD git appears to list all files in the project irrespective if they modified or not $ git diff $ git diff --cached will show nothing. So I don't have any modification.  Now strangely if I run git diff-index, it will also show nothing which is correction behavior.

my git version is 2.7.4 Any explanation?

Thanks, Oussama
