Subject: [feature request] Make "commit --only" work with new files
Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2016 17:56:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161125175619.19e13e59@gentp.lnet> (raw)
Hello,
currently "git commit --only <file>" only works if <file> is already
checked into the repo, but not with newly created and still untracked
files (builtin/commit.c:list_path() throws the error "error: pathspec
'<file>' did not match any file(s) known to git.")
I don't think this limitation is intented. I've had a look at the
relevant part of builtin/commit.c, but unfortunately it wasn't obvious
to me how to fix this.
Regards,
Luis Ressel
