If we do not consider the index precious, then no, it should not be the default. If we do consider it precious, then isn't this option fixing one small case and leaving all of the others untouched? I can just as easily run "git add -u", or "git add -p" on top of some changes and then realize afterwards that I actually wanted the previous index state. The solution for that would be an index reflog. -Peff -- 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
