BROAD OVERVIEW

bugreport[A], question[B] and use-case[C]. These are all related but separate threads for the purposes as labled. Please do not cross-post or cross-quote. Focus on productivity and solving these. You are welcomed to view and participate in all of these as I contribute more.

use-case[C] - git question (short) rephrase with use-case added.

ADD, ADD, ADD why cant they get that: ADD. ADD tracks files for commit. It's already been commit : push failed. Failed pushes piled up. I need them untracked. How do you undo an add ( many adds): simple question. Without deleting any files, to repush 1 by 1.

I suspect the answer is: "you can't - git provides no means to do so" - a defect, bug as we call it. The answer to this use-case question likely will confirm my bugreport and I get the feeling this is why they will not answer the question they do not want to accept my bugreport and have a bad spirit to argue. The excuses they give for this will be that it is not typical: This can normally be solved by repushing. However it is still a defect and in my use-case there is a slow or intermittent connection and no sha-backups yet because this is the initial creation of a repo. 

The above question is a use-case[C] seeking how to undo without deleting files. There shouldn't be any need to know a use-case in order to answer a technical question. I am open to discuss my use-case on this thread. The use-case if of this repo github.com/freedom-foundation/kjbible

My original bug report is that the user " may be cornered into delete files" bugreport[A] Summary as of 20241117 brian does not believe it's a bug and begins chattering to Peff about how to fix the bug "There are Git-level keepalives during the similar compression operation".

The full question[B] which is a child of the bugreport[A] is here. Summary as of 20241117 my question was mostly sidestepped and spammed whilst the thread devolved into a political drama about code_of_conduct. I am not open to discuss my use-case on this thread.
