One result of this being a translation of the SVN guide is that it's not IMO GIT-centric enough. It suggests a number of things that are in fact excellent foot cannons (git commit -a being the most egregious). I'd like our document to recommend practices that make it relatively easy to double and triple check commits. E.g. for direct commit I generally follow a process of staging with `git add -p` + `git add` for new files followed by `git status` and/or `git diff --staged`, and then `git commit`. Obviously people will have varying workflows, but for people with little git experience, let's try to prime them with good ones (unlike the quickstart tutorials that do things like `git commit -a -m "foo"`). -- Brooks --bp/iNruPH9dso1Pn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJe9NcNAAoJEKzQXbSebgfA4lgH/j2F2oKcbHVrhwbQKuqeDIM3 d9eVlbJVi1v2ZPnMO3+Wss8T2VUEDpODhL4st4FA7DHTzOS0bYg8b6u5Mw6npQg3 8DzmNUdSCCE5Ye2S+91qG/+arFa4gPrNs5EHAMvKHre6LsGqwP7/Za0w96VPArya 9aJPkW8xHn7Yo6snJw9PbaytHhY4AN5vHCuhAPAZOuW48z5rK7jQSQ+pZaLdSSZT vUkgUaSaKyVq+WSSeVkxyMuog+lXcUx75N88rNU8Can+pvDhrDJT4TKl4695VAEj W8R4eENxkmHxZwGcZfaIBSVZ4zr3fPJqE1vuHGNJKBjd/xanmcTH/c3vrWGvI3A= =zliX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --bp/iNruPH9dso1Pn--
