Body
In Pro Git the author says that Git staging is just a file storing which files go towards next commit. Then how does Git remember the contents of a file in staging area, even after that file is again modified in working directory? E.g. <ol> <li>edit myFile</li> <li>git add myFile</li> <li>edit myFile</li> </ol> Now, upon commit Git checks in the file as in step 2. How does it remember the contents of file in staging, if staging is just a file marking? Does it also store file contents, upon staging instead of just the file marking?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
