Hi, > Allowing what Mark wants without any explicit user customization will be a > disaster to the end user experience. If the ability to commit a currently untracked file/tree whilst preserving the index is really worth having (and that's debatable, as the git user community has survived until now without that capability) then another option (say, -O) could be added to git-commit that does what -o does but allows untracked files/trees to be specified - that way, the current behaviour would remain unchanged and the above mentioned disaster averted.
