[PATCH] Make git-commit cleverer - have it figure out whether it needs -a automatically

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Raimund Bauer offered this suggestion (paraphrased):

"Maybe we could do git-commit -a  _only_ if the index matches HEAD, and
otherwise keep current behavior?  So people who don't care about the
index won't get tripped up, and when you do have a dirty index, you get
told about it?"

Johannes Schindelin pointed out that this isn't the right thing to do for
an --amend, so that is checked for. Additionally, it's probably not the
right thing to do if any files are specified with "--only" or
"--include", so they turn this behaviour off as well.

Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy asked that git-commit let you know it's done this
by adding an extra comment to the commit message.

This time we also inhibit if "all" mode is already set; if the user
has specified "-a" we don't need to tell them that we've switched "-a"
mode on.
