Oh, also, "git add ." doesn't seem to do the right thing with
"dissapeared" files:  If I do:

    mv foo.cc bar.cc
    git add .

then git-status will show a new  file "bar.cc", but will list "foo.cc"
as "deleted " in the "Changed but not updated" section.  Perhaps the
right thing will happen if I do "git-commit -a" (though I don't know,
I don't really want to try it), this still results in incorrect
"git-diff --cached" output (it shows bar.cc as a new file, not as a
rename of foo.cc).

Am I doing something wrong, or is this just missing functionality?

Thanks,
