Hi,
I'm trying to collect all operations related to index from user
perspective and corresponding commands. The list may be put to git
wiki if people think it can help newbies:
update file content to index: git update-index file
add a file to index: git add file
delete a file from index: git update-index --remove --force-remove (or
remove that file in workdir and do git update-index --remove)
read a tree to index: git read-tree treeish, git reset treeish
read a file from a tree to index: git ls-tree treeish file|git
update-index --index-info --stdin
copy a file from index to workdir: git checkout-index file
refresh index: git update-index --refresh
copy entire index to workdir: git checkout-index
output a file from index to stdout: ?? (is there a command for this?)
list files in index: git ls-files
compare index and workdir file listing: git ls-files (with lots of options here)
diff between workdir and index: git diff
diff between index and a tree: git diff --cached treeish
Am I missing any operation here?

Cool. But for "index-newbies" not "git-newbies" :)
We could add (if exists) the porcelain-ish equivalent as:
update file content to index:
git update-index file
git add file (the development version)
add a file to index:
git update-index --add file
git add file
delete a file from index:
git update-index --remove [--force-remove] file
git rm file
read a tree to index:
git read-tree treeish
git reset commit-ish # It changes also the HEAD
read a file from a tree to index:
git ls-tree treeish file | git update-index --index-info --stdin
N/A
copy a file from index to workdir:
git checkout-index file
git checkout file
refresh index:
git update-index --refresh
git status # It does more things
copy entire index to workdir:
git checkout-index
git checkout -f
output a file from index to stdout:
git cat-file blob :file (or :n:file, where n=0,1,2,3 are the unmerged stage)
??
list files in index:
git ls-files
??
compare index and workdir file listing:
git ls-files (with lots of options here)
git status?
diff between workdir and index:
git diff-files
git diff
diff between index and a tree:
git diff-index --cached treeish
git diff --cached treeish

update file content to index: git update-index file
Or "git add file" woth new git.
add a file to index: git add file
delete a file from index: git update-index --remove --force-remove
(or remove that file in workdir and do git update-index --remove)
Or "git rm file" (old version did remove only from index, new version
is to remove also from working directory if it matches HEAD)
read a tree to index: git read-tree treeish, git reset treeish
read a file from a tree to index: git ls-tree <tree-ish> file|git
update-index --index-info --stdin
copy a file from index to workdir: git checkout-index file
Or just "git checkout -- file"
refresh index: git update-index --refresh
copy entire index to workdir: git checkout-index
Or just "git checkout"
output a file from index to stdout: ?? (is there a command for this?)
"git cat-file -p ::<filename>"
list files in index: git ls-files
compare index and workdir file listing:
git ls-files (with lots of options here)
diff between workdir and index: git diff
diff between index and a tree: git diff --cached <tree-ish>
diff between workdir and tree: git diff <tree-ish>
