X-Git-Tag: v1.6.4-rc0~158^2~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.lorimer.id.au/gitweb.git/diff_plain/c59cb03a8bfc4b09758b07b23b6fe70a909ff9f4?hp=c59cb03a8bfc4b09758b07b23b6fe70a909ff9f4

git-add: introduce --edit (to edit the diff vs. the index)

With "git add -e [<files>]", Git will fire up an editor with the current
diff relative to the index (i.e. what you would get with "git diff
[<files>]").

Now you can edit the patch as much as you like, including adding/removing
lines, editing the text, whatever.  Make sure, though, that the first
character of the hunk lines is still a space, a plus or a minus.

After you closed the editor, Git will adjust the line counts of the hunks
if necessary, thanks to the --recount option of apply, and commit the
patch.  Except if you deleted everything, in which case nothing happens
(for obvious reasons).
