"Not staged for commit" makes it clearer that the files appear in this section because the user did not do some action (stage), while "not to be commited" remains a bit more misterious about the reason why the changes will not be commited, and mentionning the word "stage" here somehow teaches the user what staging means in the Git world. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
