I imagine this depends strongly on the nature of the project. My current comments stem from using git a personal project which I've been working on for about 2 years; maybe I'm weird, but I seem to add/remove files fairly regularly (as far as I can tell, it's not an illusion :-). > And that is natural, if you think about it for 5 seconds. ... > You _could_ argue that people should be more disciplined and > write perfect .gitignore files so that "git add ." is always > safe, but the world does not work that way. Sigh. There are all sorts of people using git, and everybody has their own working style. My personal style involves keeping .gitignore up-to-date so that there's no cruft in the git-status output. Anyway, I wouldn't be complaining except that I _keep_ running into circumstances where I need to type "git-add NEWFILE1 NEWFILE2 NEWFILE3...; git rm OLD_FILE1..." -- which is kind of annoying after seeing a list of _exactly_ the files I need to add/remove output just previously by git-status. Thus my wish to have git "do it automatically." "git-add -u; git-add ." seems like it should do the job though.
