I rest my case ;). That's the whole point Felipe is trying to make here. $ git diff --cached $ git diff HEAD^..

That's two different modes of operation with the only difference being a switch ('--cached'), which changes what is, and what is not valid after that.

Whereas with $ git stage diff

There is no confusion that 'HEAD^..' is not a valid argument, as there is no command in 'git stage diff' to which it _is_ a valid argument.
