If you set diff.autorefreshindex configuration variable, it
squelches the empty "diff --git" output, and at the end of the
command, it automatically runs "update-index --refresh" without
even bothering the user.  In other words, with the configuration
variable set, people who do not care about the cache-dirtyness
do not even have to see the warning.

Nice. This is much more sane behavior, IMHO, and I think it should make 
everyone happy.

I could even imagine that this will eventually become the standard 
behaviour.

You sound as if you _like_ that behaviour...

Heh.  Almost.  I'd like to believe that these complaints would stop.

Ciao,
