How do you propose to detect that? We do not record the conflicted semi-merged state we leave the user to sort out anywhere else, and I do not think we would want to stash away a hidden duplicates of all unmerged files somewhere only for this application. That feels too wasteful and messy. You also need to worry about how to garbage collect such copies if you go that route.

-- >8 -- By the way, I've been wondering if giving "git add" an ability to do "git commit -a" without actual committing.

	$ edit edit edit
        $ git add -u
would run "git add" for all modified (and deleted) files.

I picked "-u" instead of "-a" because I wanted to stress that this is about "updating" (which has connotation that it is relative to something, and in this case it is relative to the current "index"), and not about "all", which "-a" would imply.

Hmm?
