# [PATCH] [checkout-index] Give names to stages 1 messages from 2006-12-03 to 2006-12-03. Participants: Luben Tuikov. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/43525 ## Luben Tuikov, 2006-12-03 09:49 Subject: [PATCH] [checkout-index] Give names to stages Message-ID: <651451.91694.qm@web31813.mail.mud.yahoo.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/651451.91694.qm%40web31813.mail.mud.yahoo.com ``` One can now say "git-checkout-index --stage=ours ..." or "git-checkout-index --stage=theirs ...", instead of having to remember the corresponding number assigned to each stage.
