Lukas_Sandström 5f3aa197ac Change 'cache' to 'index' in the docs
This patch makes the documentation refer to the index
as index instead of cache, but some references still
remain. (e.g. git-update-index.txt)

git-hash-object(1)
==================
NAME
----
git-hash-object - Computes object ID and optionally creates a blob from a file.
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] <any-file-on-the-filesystem>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type
with the contents of the named file (which can be outside of the
work tree), and optionally writes the resulting object into the
object database. Reports its object ID to its standard output.
This is used by "git-cvsimport" to update the index
without modifying files in the work tree. When <type> is not
specified, it defaults to "blob".
OPTIONS
-------
-t <type>::
Specify the type (default: "blob").
-w::
Actually write the object into the object database.
