In the manpage for git-status (http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-status.html) it says:

"Displays paths that have differences between the index file and the current HEAD commit"

but how could something be added to the index and not be different from the current HEAD commit? shouldnt this sentence say: "displays paths that have been added to the index"
