Right. Who wants "add" to actually mean "add and delete"? Shouldn't that be then called "git-add-and-rm"? We recently talked about this on the mailing list and decided that git-add shouldn't remove files that have disappeared, as doing so might break most user's expections of what git-add does. > then git-status will show a new file "bar.cc", but will list "foo.cc" > as "deleted " in the "Changed but not updated" section.

Try adding the -M option to "git-diff". That will enable the rename detection, and show the rename you are looking to see. -- Shawn. - 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
