Hi,

I find that many times I make changes to some files that should be part of different commits. What I do then is run 'git add -p' and 'git commit' several times until I commit all hunks. Does it make sense to anyone to add -p option following a '-a' and '--loop' option (that will run until user requests to end or nothing to commit)?

Thanks, Ittay

I wonder if "git commit --interactive" would not suit your needs?
