Junio C Hamano 45c45e300b git add: start preparing for "git add <pathspec>..." to default to "-A"
When "git add subdir/" is run without "-u" or "-A" option, e.g.

    $ edit subdir/x
    $ create subdir/y
    $ rm subdir/z
    $ git add subdir/

the command does not notice removal of paths (e.g. subdir/z) from
the working tree.  This sometimes confuses new people, as arguably
"git add" is told to record the current state of "subdir/" as a
whole, not the current state of the paths that exist in the working
tree that matches that pathspec (the latter by definition excludes
the state of "subdir/z" because it does not exist in the working
tree).

Plan to eventually make "git add" pretend as if "-A" is given when
there is a pathspec on the command line.  When resolving a conflict
to remove a path, the current code tells you to "git rm $path", but
with such a change, you will be able to say "git add $path" (of
course you can do "git add -A $path" today).  That means that we can
simplify the advice messages given by "git status".  That all will
be in Git 2.0 or later, if we are going to do so.

For that transition to work, people need to learn either to say "git
add --no-all subdir/" when they want to ignore the removed paths
like "subdir/z", or to say "git add -A subdir/" when they want to
take the state of the directory as a whole.

"git add" without any argument will continue to be a no-op.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	Git - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list.  The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
