@ -27,6 +27,13 @@ The command takes the same set of options as `git-commit`; it
shows what would be committed if the same options are given to
`git-commit`.
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.
