No, there isn't. Under Linux, I would come up with a list of files I was
interested in and then pipe it to "xargs git-add", which is probably
unhelpful for Windows.
Not quite. I'm using the msysGit package from
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list and that comes with some
fundamental unix tools like a sound shell, find, xargs, and many more.
Very good!
This way prepared, I used "git ls-files -o | xargs git add -v" until
most of my files were added.
For the rest I did "xargs -l" (ell) so that the files got added one by one.
The files that still refused to be added are finally ignored by "git
ls-files -o >> .gitignore".
Caveat: filenames containing blanks are not handled properly as they are
not surrounded by quotes. "git add" thinks of them as two or more files
and fails.
I figure xargs has some cool switches to sourround the parameters with
quotes, but I didn't find them. An option was to write a script or shell
function that does it and pipe the filenames through that function or --
as filenames with blanks aren't so numerous -- to add them manually with
"git gui".
Eventually, I solved the problem. Thanks for and to your pointers. :-)
