>From the git-commit manpage (1.7.1.2):

"3.  by listing files as arguments to the commit command, in which case the 
commit will ignore changes staged in the index, and instead record the 
current content of the listed files (which must already be known to git); "

(I haven't tried it myself because to me the index is a key technology of 
git so I'm not sure why I would want to bypass it.)
