We could improve it a bit, suggesting the user to do git add -N. But is there a point of using -p on a new file? It will be one big chunk, you can't split anything. Perhaps maybe you want to use 'e' to edit what's added? > (Note: I am aware I can do -N first, but when I specifically enter the name > of a new file I feel it should figure out what I mean.) -- Duy
