Many VCSs work the way you mention above, you add once, then just committing is enough - e.g. SVN. Git has a staging area where you put changes before committing them: http://gitready.com/beginner/2009/01/18/the-staging-area.html Look for instance at `git add -p` to see what kind of power Git's way offers you when committing changes. It's actually a great thing, and I'm sure that once you get used to it you'll miss it whenever you are forced to work with a VCS that doesn't work like Git. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: [email protected] jabber: [email protected] twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind. -- Alan Kay
