Re: 'git commit' ignoring args?

With the latest git as of this writing, executing

    git commit Makefile stylesheet.xsl

results in an attempt to commit the above files, and also another file 
book.xml.  book.xml is modified, but I do not wish to check it in at 
this time, so I did not list it as an argument to 'git commit'.

The index has been updated to match the file on disk somehow (perhaps 
you did 'git add book.xml'?). You can un-mark it with

	git reset HEAD

which is equivalent to

	git read-tree --reset HEAD

so long as you're operating on HEAD.
