I add files to the index all the time as I'm working on things, then commit -a at the end "without thinking twice". For example: 1) Hack on something. 2) git add $thing 3) Run full test-suite. 4) Fix a failing module. 5) git add $fixed-module-and-tests 6) Repeat 3-5 until there's only one module failing. 7) Fix last failing module. 8) git commit -a I doubt I'm the only one that stages things as a way of marking them as "done", and using git commit -a to "check-off" the last "todo" item. -- 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
