For a summary of the discssions see my blog post [1]. This is particularly true of newcomers, which is why everyone that teaches git uses the term "staging area". Among all the proposals for a better name "staging area" is by far the one with the most consensus. Everyone except two people agreed that "the index" is not a good term. All non-official documentation already uses the term "staging area" [2] [3] [4], including what is considered by most people the best documentation out there: the Pro Git book. There is absolutely no reason not to start using the term "staging area" officially. Let's start by making the staging area a first-class citizen and making 'git stage' a prominent command, similar to 'git branch'. Additionally add 'git unstage' too. Only *one* person expressed discontent with the term "staging area". In favor: * Felipe Contreras * Scott Chacon * Jonathan Nieder * Matthieu Moy * Jeff King * Miles Bader * Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason * Jay Soffian * Pete Harlan * Aghiles * Piotr Krukowiecki * Phil Hord * Victor Engmark * David (bouncingcats) * Alexey Feldgendler * Alexei Sholik * Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek * Sebastien Douche * Thiago Farina * Mark Lodato * Philip Oakley * William Swanson * Ping Yin * Hilco Wijbenga * Lars Vogel * David A.
