Re: bug report on update-index --assume-unchanged

However the man page's statement 'When the "assume unchanged" bit is on,
Git stops checking the working tree files for possible modifications, so
you need to manually unset the bit to tell Git when you change the working
tree file.' can easily be understood the way Sergio has described. Git
stops checking so it won't notice any changes, which is a contract it
doesn't keep.

The contract is: when you change the working tree file, you must tell
Git about it.  Failure to do so is a breach of the contract.
