I simply do not care about the staged/not-staged distinction in the sense that "I still haven't staged these, that's good because these do not belong to the commit I am going to make next". Output from "git diff" being truly empty is the cue that such a large-ish worktree change is ready to be committed, and the final "git diff --cached" would give me the full picture. A small-ish change won't make "git diff" in the middle empty, but checking the final "git diff --cached" before committing is the same. - 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
