This makes the connection 'bi-directional'. Thanks, but for that bi-directional connection, I think the place you inserted the new text is suboptimal. There is a single paragraph with two sentences to teach how to set and how to unset. Adding another to teach how to inspect would flow the resulting logic more naturally. ``` ## Stefan Naewe, 2011-09-21 06:21 Subject: [PATCH v4] Documentation/git-update-index: refer to 'ls-files' Message-ID: <1316586110-6845-1-git-send-email-stefan.naewe@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1316586110-6845-1-git-send-email-stefan.naewe%40gmail.com In-Reply-To: <7vmxdz56xt.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` 'ls-files' refers to 'update-index' to show how the 'assume unchanged' bit can be seen.
