When these flags are specified, the object name recorded for the paths are not updated\&. Instead, these options sets and unsets the "assume unchanged" bit for the paths\&. When the "assume unchanged" bit is on, git stops checking the working tree files for possible modifications, so you need to manually unset the bit to tell git when you change the working tree file\&. This is sometimes helpful when working with a big project on a filesystem that has very slow lstat(2) system call (e\&.g\&. cifs)\&.
