Looks like it got lost in the C rewrite of git-commit: $ git grep untracked-files builtin-commit.c builtin-commit.c: OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "untracked-files", &untracked_files, "show all untracked files"), $ git grep -B2 contrib/examples/git-commit.sh contrib/examples/git-commit.sh- -u|--u|--un|--unt|--untr|--untra|--untrac|--untrack|--untracke|\ contrib/examples/git-commit.sh- --untracked|--untracked-|--untracked-f|--untracked-fi|--untracked-fil|\ contrib/examples/git-commit.sh: --untracked-file|--untracked-files) So it should probably be supported. The patch is a one-liner, but I'll leave it as an exercise for you. :) -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
