Re: [FAQ?] Rationale for git's way to manage the index

Hi,

As a newbie, I'm agree with Matthieu: the Git's index is surprising
for people coming from CVS/SVN (mindless?) world. So a good
documentation about this, even in tutorials, is really important.

In order to improve my productivity with Git, and in order to avoid
traps around moving from SVN to Git, I often use the Git Emacs mode.
It is really usefull for beginners as it works similarly for CVS, SVN
and Git: synthetic view of all modifications, easy selection of what
will be commited... The biggest drawback of this "porcelain": using
it, you do not understand the Git's index philosophy.
