If I remember correctly the idea behind "intent to add" was to show only that file was added (e.g. the "new file" line from extended diff header) in "git diff" when file was added and not modified (and no changes to "git diff HEAD"). Although I'm not sure if this wouldn't screw some use cases which include something like "git diff > some-temporary-file"... -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git - 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
