Subject: Re: [PATCH] diff: resurrect the traditional empty "diff --git" behaviour

I fully agree with the two patches (that's what I've been arguing for
hours last time we talked about it, so no big surprise ;-) ).

One documentation nitpick :

Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> writes:

I'd rather avoid talking about plumbing in the documentation of
porcelain, so I'd say "silently refreshes the index's stat
information".

But I'm arguably wrong on that point, I let you decide.

Thanks,
