Patches are very much welcomed, > especially the ones that come before I get around to it ;-) I took a brief look at the code, and as you said "add" needs to know about submodules, and the best fix looks to me to take the same approach Jonathan came up with to de-noise the "add -u/-A" topic. That is, to scan the working tree to actually see if we would record removals to the index in 2.0, but not remove them in this current version, and give the warning when the differences in the behaviours matter. -- 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
