And at that point, I trust "git commit" to do the right thing --
the damn thing I just checked with "git diff --cached" _is_ what
will be committed.

I think the difference behavior between "git commit" and "git diff" is
a little bit confusing.

Currently, we have
* "git diff" shows what "git commit -a" would commit
* "git diff --cached" shows what "git commit" would commit

IMHO, "git diff" should show what's in the staging area,
and we should introduce "git diff -a" as a way to see the full
changes.
