spearce Cc'ed, because this seems like a nice feature to add to git-gui In no way should this imply that YOU have to implement this!

Now you first have to stage all the things you want to keep, and then select "Commit->Revert Changes" in the menu to remove a hunk forever which is a little clumsy if you have many hunks and just want to remove one of them. Seems like a nice feature to add to git gui if you throw in an extra Yes-No question for the user IFF he realy wants to remove the hunk forever. -Peter - 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
