HEAD^..HEAD would print the diff between the previous and the last
commit. That's not really useful if you need the diff between HEAD and
the future commit. --cached and HEAD do the same, but there is help
explicitely available for --cached in the man page:

 git diff [--options] --cached [<commit>] [--] [<path>...]

    This form is to view the changes you staged for the next
    commit relative to the named <commit>. Typically you would want
    comparison with the latest commit, so if you do not give <commit>,
    it defaults to HEAD.
