also, how many are doing 'git add .' or 'git add *' followed by git

Everybody who starts a new history from scratch from an existing tarball
would be doing this at least once ;-)
there were several commands listed that I have never heard of before
and will want to research to see what they do to see if I should be
using them.
The commands singled out were either (1) ancient, nobody should be using
them, and we would love to prove that nobody is using them anymore so that
we can remove them, or (2) reasonably new inventions that would help
common situations more than the stock Porcelain we have had for years, to
see if they are already widely adopted.
it would be really good to indicate which is which. I spotted several
things that looked like they would help me, but I have no idea which ones
I should use and which I shouldn't
Perhaps somebody (or group of people, taking turns) should post a "git
trick of the week" series to this mailing list?
that would be a good idea. I would suggest also putting them on the wiki
and (if possible) package them up periodicly as a fortune file.
