git notice, but I wouldn't know when that is used.

Part of the implied question is why "git commit ." would notice when
when "git commit -a" didn't appear to. So it's unclear as to what the 
user should have expected.

I agree with this sentence, this is a bug because:

git commit -a ( and -a means all ) is incoherent with "git commit ."
This is stupid because when I want commit part of the tree, commit
includes one file that is not included when I say to commit all . 
So maybe you should fix, git commit -a to be coherent . 

(Note, I don't use assume-unchanged myself so this is more about 
supporting the user/manual clarification. It is mentioned moderately 
often on stackoverflow etc.)

yeap  

Sorry I don't have time to read all messages in thread , 
but I'm going to test git with the patch suggest in this thread , at
least, I solve "my" problem for some time ... 

Thanks,
