I guess I implied that the > git-commit initial step should capture all of the "interesting" state. No, it wont. What files are you going to add? All, but *.o? All, but *.log? What if user hasn't setup .gitignore yet? What if he meant to add an ignored file anyway? > git-rebase *will* do the merge. It must. :) It won't merge anything which isn't known to git. Now, I come to think about it, no existing merge method will help you here (and very likely it shouldn't). It is actually much simplier doing things right: all this stashing people keep talking about. - 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
