 	file (usually '.gitignore') and allows such an untracked
 	but explicitly ignored file to be overwritten.
 
+--index-output=<file>::
+	Instead of writing the results out to `$GIT_INDEX_FILE`,
+	write the resulting index in the named file.  While the
+	command is operating, the original index file is locked
+	with the same mechanism as usual.  The file must allow
+	to be rename(2)ed into from a temporary file that is
+	created next to the usual index file; typically this
+	means it needs to be on the same filesystem as the index
+	file itself, and you need write permission to the
+	directories the index file and index output file are
+	located in.
+
 <tree-ish#>::
 	The id of the tree object(s) to be read/merged.
