There are a number of these things that I asked about recently.
Here's another similarly one:

  $ git add foo
  $ git status -s
  M  foo
  $ git commit --amend foo
  # On branch master
  # No changes
  $ git status -s
  M  foo

I'm confused. Is there some context for when you are issuing these
commands?  Because the "git commit --amend foo" should actually
commit foo, and does for me.

Heh, in that case it was more effective than I thought...  My point in
the previous posts was also about missing information (in that case,
make `git add' tell you when adding it canceled previously added
changes, and also make `git status' tell you if you're in the middle
of a merge or rebase and in a clean state).

In any case, here's the prelude to the above:

  $ mkdir t; cd t; git init
  $ echo foo > foo; git add foo; git commit -m foo
  $ echo bar > foo; git commit -o foo -m bar
  $ echo foo > foo

(And as cooked as it seems, I posted it because I actually ran into it
this morning.)
