Please disregard that file (I should remove it from the repository, too). It is not curated at all, and the last update to it is more than 13 years ago. >> * "git status" on intent-to-add index entries (say "I" in the first >> column instead of "A" for short status, add "(needs 'git add')" at the >> end of "new file: $path " in long status). > > I am interpreting this todo message as meaning that the following behavior > should be implemented: I think that was done long time ago. The entry may have been a wish-item in April 2011, but not anymore. Sorry for wasting your time. A better sources of inspiration might come from list archive searches for the past 3 year or so. https://lore.kernel.org/git/?q=%22%23leftoverbit%22+d%3A20220718.. But even then, many itches have already been scratched. As is often said, in open source, the easiest is to start scratching your own itch ;-) Thanks.
