I don't think a consensus was reached, but it has been discussed at least once in this thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/166223/focus=168238 Essentially, the discussion boiled down to "it would be cool to change, but the migration won't be easy". The main argument for change is (for me) consistency. Having "git add -p" tree-wide and "git add -u" limited to . is really strange. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
