13DESCRIPTION
14-----------
15Examines paths in the working tree that has changes unrecorded
16to the index file, and changes between the index file and the
17current HEAD commit. The former paths are what you _could_
215a7ad1 18commit by running 'git-update-index' before running 'git

JH
19commit', and the latter paths are what you _would_ commit by
20running 'git commit'.
21
22If there is no path that is different between the index file and
23the current HEAD commit, the command exits with non-zero
24status.
