I agree that "git-add -i untracked_file" is a bit useless. I think it might be more useful if you could split the one giant hunk (which git-add--interactive does not currently allow) into smaller hunks, and then just add parts of them (so conceptually treat it like it had been a tracked file with empty contents, and go to the patch menu). Of course, there is currently no way to usefully split a hunk that has consecutive added lines, so that would have to be figured out, too. So I think it is not so much "this other thing is useful right now" as "do we want to paint ourselves in a corner for making it (or other things) useful later on?" And assuming that having arguments means "start the patch menu on these files" doesn't leave room for changes later. -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
