[PATCH] git-add (-a|-u) and -n support

[PATCH] git-add (-a|-u) and -n support

[Michael Witten]

Hello,

The git-add command doesn't handle -n when using -u.

I fixed this and added -a for adding ALL files, not
just those below the current directory (just like
git-commit).

The patch is below, but you can also download it from
http://web.mit.edu/mfwitten/git/0001-git-add-now-understands-two- 
kinds-of-update.patch

Subject: [PATCH] git-add now understands two kinds of update:

  	-u: update as before
  	-a: update all as in a true 'git commit -a'

Also, -n works correctly now with the above options.

Unfortunately, I left a second bug in place.
I was too excited about submitting a patch,
and too tired to get it right.

The following:

I don't find the option set very intuitive. I'd prefer

  - git add -u . => update the current directory as before
  - git add -u   => update all files from the root.

But your solution has the advantage of being backward compatible, so,
no strong opinion here.

(side note: also, while you're here, it would be nice to have a single
command to do "git add .; git add -u", i.e add all unknown files,
update all existing files, and actally remove all deleted files. In
one word, synchronize the index with the working tree completely.
Perhaps "-a" would be a good name for that, not sure)

You should document -a here, and in Documentation/git-add.txt if you
introduce it.

Here's compromise that is backwards compatible. For both git-add
and git-commit:
	
	-a dir [dir2 ...] => all changes in the given dirs.
	-a                => all changes from the root.

Then we can just leave -u in place for now, and mark it as deprecated.

In any case, the goal is to make the intuition solid between
git-commit and git-add.

We can couple the above with -f to do this.

I see that now; Apple's trying to be smart about blank lines, it  
would seem.

Let's get -a/-u squared away first.

As I recall, Junio had some specific reason for calling the flag -u
instead of -a. Search in the list archive for the patch that
introduced the flag, or wait till he gets back and ask him.

I have a feeling it was because -u currently just updates modified
files in the current directory, while -a updated all modified files.

Fortunately, the suggestion above does not break anything.

P.S.
When is Junio coming back? I know I know... Look through the

It's not in the archives.  Just send your stuff, and let the list be a 
filter for Junio.  He'll be overwhelmed with the amount of emails already.

If I were to give him some advice, it would be to just delete all git list 
mails in his inbox and ask for people to resend their latest and greatest, 
_after_ he had a look at what Lars collected.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for submitting a patch! However, please make sure you read
SubmittingPatches carefully. Your message should consist of the regular
mail headers (as generated by git-format-patch + whatever else you want
to add), the commit message, a line containing "---", and then the diff.
Any cover letter material should go after the "---".

IOW, the format the git-format-patch generates is actually a mail in the
correct format. If you can convince your mailer to use that as a
template for sending a mail, that is the best bet.

I know these seem like little things, but they make the life of the
maintainer much easier, as it means your patch and commit message can be
applied directly by the git tools.

I apologize, though I got your first email about
Documentation/SubmittingPatches after I had sent
in this patch; I had gone rummaging around the homepage
for some information, but had found nothing special.

I just submitted a patch (properly!) to Petr Baudis
to add a link to that documentation on the main page.

Don't worry, I didn't take it personally ;-)

Sincerely,
