I thought it made some good points about git being kinda confusing,
for example sentences like "Changed but not updated" in git status
could use a better sentence like "Changed but not in the index".
Sounds reasonable (well, with some more precise wording to reflect
that this means "changed but not all changes are reflected in the
index").
Didn't we fix this already in 8009d83 (Better "Changed but not updated"
message in git-status, 2010-11-02)? Since v1.7.4, "git status" has
"Changes not staged for commit".
