I would rather say "see `git add -N` man page for more > explanation" than putting it here. The warning is quite long as it is > right now. If I ruled the world, it would say something like this: error: you intended to add "foo.c" but did not add it; not committing hint: to commit all changes to tracked files, use "commit -a" hint: to commit without adding "foo.c", use "commit --ignore-intent-to-add", which may become the default in future versions of git But without the long line. ;-) -- 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
