Excellent! > Appreciate your guidance, and my sincere apologies for wasting your time on this issue! No need to apologize: you did the right thing by writing up a detailed bug report (even if it turned out to miss one crucial detail, the pre-commit hook). That is so much better than what I often deal with. Would you believe that some users are under the impression that Twitter is a perfectly fine medium to report bugs [*1*]? > Sincere respect for all the work you do for Git for Windows, and thus software devs the world over. Thank you for that lovely note. It means a lot to me.

Once git enters this state, even git add produces the same result: Using git add to only add some files (and not chunks), and subsequently committing, results in unstaged files also being committed. > > 4.
