It does, provided they only added files and didn't change anything else. If they did then we're out of it for this patch anyway. Anyway, this is only meant to help ease people into the index. As discussed elsewhere, hiding the index is a silly policy. This patch isn't /just/ for the newbies by the way (who are already confused, so that hasn't changed), I know about the index, but I still like it. Remember, all it's really saying is "when commit would do nothing, do something". So it only takes away an option that you can't have been using anyway because it didn't do anything.
