Hi,

Note: "git diff HEAD" as it is now still holds value; it tells you about 
_all_ changes -- staged and unstaged -- and I have to admit that I used it 
a lot (as "git diff HEAD -- file | git apply -R"; note the absence of 
"--index" to the call to apply, otherwise "git checkout file" would have 
done the same).

So if we ever do combined diffs for "git diff HEAD", I want an option to 
turn them off, too.

Ciao,
Dscho
