Many GUI or text-editor plugins for Git allow you to just select lines and stage the selection. Even though I love "git add -p", I find magit (Git integration for Emacs) more convenient when it comes to staging individual lines. That said, a "split hunk line by line" option for "git add -p" could be nice. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
