From: Michael J Gruber Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2011 14:45:52 GMT Subject: [PATCH/RFC 1/3] git-add: make -A description clearer vs. -u Message-ID: <059f131e50675ac53d5d304a51530984e1b7b8a8.1298644872.git.git@drmicha.warpmail.net> In-Reply-To: Currently, it sounds as if "notice removal of files" distinguishes "-A" from "-u", and there is no mention of the worktree. But both notice the removal, and only "-A" adds changes from untracked files. Say so.
