Hmm. But "git reset -q && git diff-files" would not be?

We have never been very clear about which commands refresh the index.
Since "reset" is about manipulating the index, I'd expect it to be
refreshed afterwards. On the other hand, since we have never guaranteed
anything, perhaps a careful script should always use "git update-index
--refresh". I would not be too surprised if some of our own scripts are
not that careful, though.
