I'd prefer - git add -u . => update the current directory as before - git add -u => update all files from the root. But your solution has the advantage of being backward compatible, so, no strong opinion here. (side note: also, while you're here, it would be nice to have a single command to do "git add .; git add -u", i.e add all unknown files, update all existing files, and actally remove all deleted files. In one word, synchronize the index with the working tree completely. Perhaps "-a" would be a good name for that, not sure) > builtin-add.c | 69 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > +------------------- Your patch is whitespace-damaged.
