So, I was reading up on the various "index" operations like git-diff-index, git-checkout-index, etc. Things that operated on the index.

Naturally, I was surprised when I realized "git-show-index" has nothing to do with the index, but rather the .idx "index" files associated with packs.

Um, git-show-pack-index?

Ducking, jdl
