I am no entirely happy with this patch. If all your scripted Porcelain wants to see is "what are the paths I might want to run 'git add' on?", you do not want to run diff twice (which is what "status" does); you would say "ls-files -t -m -o --exclude-standard", instead. The alternative is not even superiour in this case. Having said that, I personally don't think of any other combination of flags with which "ls-files -t" is useful. If there are parts of the documentation that are misleading, perhaps that is what your patch should be fixing instead, no? -- 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
