I'm just learning Git so I don't yet know how to submit this

http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Basics-Recording-Changes-to-the-Repository

It says: "For another example, if you stage the benchmarks.rb file and
then edit it, you can use git diff to see the changes in the file that
are staged and the changes that are unstaged:"

I believe this should say "git status" rather than "git diff".

I think the text is correct as it stands.  "git status" shows you that
there are changes that are staged and unstaged, "git diff" (and "git
diff --cached") shows you what those changes are.
