Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history

obsolete; since aecbf91, git-diff now squelches empty diffs
and performs an automatic refresh.

the current HEAD commit (i.e., there is nothing to commit by running
`git-commit`), the command exits with non-zero status.

If any paths have been touched in the working tree (that is,
their modification times have changed) but their contents and
permissions are identical to those in the index file, the command
updates the index file. Running `git-status` can thus speed up
subsequent operations such as `git-diff` if the working tree
contains many paths that have been touched but not modified.
