I was a bit dubious of the new phrasing for the ask condition but it is growing on me. I wonder it it might be worth including the number of untracked files to be staged too eg: "Stage 15 untracked files?" set reply [ask_popup [mc "Stage %d untracked files?" \ [llength $untracked_paths]]] Loosening the check we can do using switch -glob -- [get_config gui.stageuntracked] { [Nn]* { set reply 0} [Yy]* { set reply 1} default { ... } } -- Pat Thoyts http://www.patthoyts.tk/ PGP fingerprint 2C 6E 98 07 2C 59 C8 97 10 CE 11 E6 04 E0 B9 DD -- 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
