If there is no staging - no commit, then you're right. But then you don't
have to mention index at all:
--refresh::
Don't add the file(s), but only refresh their stat()
information.
I completely agree with Pete Harlan - for normal user git internals are
not relevant - index is just part of git. How or where the stat information is
refreshed does not matter.
In the same way you don't write that it's done by function refresh_index().
