There's one more problem. My script doesn't recognize deleted files, since git add -A does nothing to them. I'm quite sure I saw a solution to this, but can't find it now...I believe "git add -u" will do the same thing as "git add -A", plus handle deleted files.
Hmm, the "git add" manual suggests it is the other way around: -A, --all Like -u, but match <filepattern> against files in the working tree in addition to the index. That means that it will find new files as well as staging modified content and removing files that are no longer in the working tree. So I would expect "git add -A" to do the same thing as "git add -u", plus handling added files. Maaartin, could you give an example showing where add -A goes wrong?
