Many projects are organized so that the result of compilation is mixed with sources. It would be very useful to configure git gui so that untracked files are not listed in the un-staged list. I have patched git gui, function rescan_stage2, line 1414 to do so: # set fd_lo [eval git_read ls-files --others -z $ls_others] set fd_lo [eval git_read ls-files -z $ls_others] but it would be nice to make this behavior tunable via the "Options..." menu. -- 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
