Here, here! That is *exactly* what I was thinking when I started
reading this thread: "Hey, the "git diff" stuff was easy enough, it
was the reverting (and friends) that caused me trouble!"

Also, in the same area, I've now understood that to undo a "git add" -
to remove a change from the index and making it show up as a
difference between the working tree and the index - one can use "git
... Would've been helpful to me to have a
sentense or paragraph about that in git-add.txt,...

Wonderful.

Can somebody who is relatively (but not extremely) new to git can
volunteer to be a documentation secretary to collect these "Hear, hear, it
would have been very helpful if X were documented next to Y" stories, and
coordinate documentation updates after enough such improvement suggestions
are collected?

People who lost git virginity like myself cannot do this sensibly and
fairly.  For example, as my mind is already contaminated enough that I
discarded the original "add this as Discussion item to revert" message
after reading it once, judging it to add extra noise without much merit.

I would not agree it to be a part of git-add man page, but rather it
should be a part of doc that explains basic git commands and their
flows. I feel that we need a place where git flows are explained. IMO,
gitwiki is a great place for it. I would like to volunteer to add
these pages to Wiki.

Best regards,

Imran
