This adds "--intent-to-add" option to "git add". This is to let the

iow, just be aware of the presense of the path with the type of the blob
for now.
While I like intent_* in the variables, what about "git add --path FILE"
for the user interface? Also, I wonder if it would be good to restrict
"git add --path" to paths not already in the index, and give an error
otherwise.
As I said elsewhere in the thread, I wouldn't use this feature (I keep a
"git citool" window open to review my own changes, when I have to deal
with new files), but I applaud its introduction.
Then you can do:
$ git commit -a ;# commit everything
or
$ git commit oldfile ;# only oldfile, newfile not yet added
Did you mean "git commit" for the second use case?
