Well, indeed each time I use "add -N" it is mostly to get "git diff" show me the contents of the new file as part of my WIP, so it would not make much difference to me if "add -N" would just add the file as empty to the index in the first place. Out of curiosity, does anyone make any use of the current difference between not-added-yet and added-as-empty ? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
