Package: git Version: 1:1.7.8.2-1 Severity: wishlist I recently found myself with a new file that I needed to check in part of with several commits. I wanted to use "git add -p newfile" and use 'e' to add and commit several times (along with corresponding bits in existing files). However, "git add -p" does not work on a new file, only an existing file. I ended up copying the file aside so I could modify it and check it in the first time, after which I could use add -p.
Please consider supporting add -p on a new file. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages git depends on: ii git-man 1:1.7.8.2-1 ii libc6 2.13-24 ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.23.1-3 ii liberror-perl 0.17-1 ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7.2 ii perl-modules 5.14.2-6 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 Versions of packages git recommends: ii less 444-1 ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:5.9p1-2 ii patch 2.6.1-2 ii rsync 3.0.9-1 Versions of packages git suggests: pn git-arch <none> pn git-cvs <none> pn git-daemon-run | git-daemon-sysvinit <none> pn git-doc <none> pn git-el <none> pn git-email <none> pn git-gui <none> pn git-svn 1:1.7.8.2-1 pn gitk 1:1.7.8.2-1 pn gitweb <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
