You didn't answer that part of my message, but I still fail to see a rationale for making "git-diff; git-status" different from "git-status; git-diff". IOW, why should people running git-status before git-diff not get a reminder if you think people running git-diff without or before git-status should get it? -- Matthieu - 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
