The --only behaviour being totally different from others (from "index is the only thing that matters" point of view) was what bothered me. It did not feel logical. However, if you put it this way: > I like the fact that when you do "git commit filename", it really will > commit _only_ that file, not the other files you added. It's logical. that makes tons of sense. What's "logical" largely depends on how things ought to behave in the mental model, and the mental model you would form largely depends on how things are explained to you. - 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
