No, --index is something else.
But I was originally *way* wrong to propose --cached for this usage
in git-mv. --cached means "apply *ONLY* to the index" and "do *NOT*
touch the working tree". Here we want to touch the working tree
in the sense of moving the file. So --cached is not the correct
option name.
--index is used in Git for places were we update *both* the index
and the working directory (git-apply --index). So actually I should
have suggested "git-mv --index". Whoops.
