Re: 'git commit --short' without touching index?

Thanks.  Your suggestion seems to work.  Much appreciated.

However, both "status" and "commit --dry-run" will opportunistically
refresh the index. If you don't want to touch the index at all, you can
use a combination of:

  # show changes between HEAD and index
  git diff-index HEAD

  # show changes between index and working tree
  git diff-files

  # show untracked files
  git ls-files --exclude-standard -o
