The warning is enough without an error period (unless the intent was to switch to the error and stay there forever, but I do not think that is the proposal). -Peff PS I wonder how others are finding the warning? I'm finding it slightly annoying. Perhaps I just haven't retrained my fingers yet. But one problem with that retraining is that I type "git add -u" from the root _most_ of the time, and it just works. But occasionally, I get the "hey, do not do that" warning, because I'm in a subdir, even though I would be happy to have the full-tree behavior. I guess we already rejected the idea of being able to shut off the warning and just get the new behavior, in favor of having people specify it manually each time? -- 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
