% if git diff-tree --quiet HEAD; then git commit -a; else git commit; fi 7a15ef233c9ea900c9176f4a09260bb64a7e40cb # On branch master # Changed but not updated: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: debian/changelog # modified: debian/control # # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # debian/files no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
