This seems to be a simple oversight when the --all option was added by da98053aa6 (git-add --all: documentation, 2008-07-19). > In addition, the closing square-bracket is missing. I think this is inaccurate. If you look closely, you will find the closing bracket after the -u option: [--[no-]all | --[no-]ignore-removal | [--update | -u]] meaning that --all, --ignore-removal, and --update are mutually exclusive. > Hope this was the right place to report this - seemed to be the only option. This is the correct place. I posted a patch[1] addressing the issue. [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20231215204333.1253-1-ericsunshine@xxxxxxxxxxx/
