git commit question

git commit question

[Ben Greear]

I started a fresh kernel git repository since I buggered
my old one...

I branched, applied patch, and ran git-update-cache.

Now, when I run git commit, I see a long list of files on which
evidently I need to run git-update-cache.

Is there a way to tell it to add all modified files (that git commit mentions)
to the cache for commit, or do I have to not be so lazy and
paste them all on the cmd line?

Thanks,
Ben

Perhaps 'git commit -a' is what you want (it is documented;
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/, especially
git-commit-script.html there).
