True, but I still don't quite understand the point of the staging area. I've never found a good use for it. In short, I don't think the staging area is the feature that makes git a better option than Mercurial :-) If you use it, you'll need it. :) Short time ago, I didn't like the stage. I didn't want to "add" every file I want to commit. But then I realized, that I really like to do many changes and
Magnus Therning <magnus@therning.org>: then group them into small commits. git commits only the contents in stage. You can have some changes of a file staged and others not. I hadn't used git for a long time, until it was a requirement for my master thesis. Now, I'm really a fanboy and the group's git guru. git does really support my way of coding. BUT perhaps I've changed my style of coding to match git? Who knows. … -- Gruß, Johannes http://hehejo.de
