Hello.
The manpage of git commit reads:
--only
Make a commit only from the paths specified on the command line,
disregarding any contents that have been staged so far. This is
the default mode of operation of git commit if any paths are given
on the command line, in which case this option can be omitted. [...]
But that seems to be only true for other content (i.e. other files not
specified in the command line).
If I do:
# some repo with a file in it
git init
echo content >foo && git add foo && git commit -m foo
# modify and stage a file
echo other >> foo && git add foo
# modify the same file even further but don't stage
echo bar >> foo
# commit with path specified on command line with explicit '--only'
git commit --only -m'.' -- foo
# but everything was commited
git status -s
<empty>
I would expect to only get the unstaged changes in the commit.
Could anyone shed some light, please?
Thanks,
Stefan
