Ah, I think that is definitely the right behavior. But it does raise one more question: is going right into the 'add hunk' interface the correct behavior, or is that an orthogonal issue? IOW, do we actually want to support: # go to patch menu for each file git-add -i -p file1 file2 ... # add untracked for each file git-add -i -a file1 file2 ... Which is of course tricky because the '-p' is contextually dependent on the presence of '-i'. But perhaps there is no need, since for just these two operations you can do something like: foreach my $file (@ARGV) { if(tracked($file)) { patch_update_file($file); } else { add_tracked($file); } } Are there any other per-file operations that would make sense to start with? Or might somebody just want to path-limit _without_ starting the hunk selector? -Peff - 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
