On the other hand, I think the tutorial linked above gives quite a clear explanation of git commit -a, git add etc. Guilhem, what do you find missing in the tutorial about this topic? -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ Ever try. Ever fail. No matter. // Try again. Fail again. Fail better. -- Samuel Beckett - 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
