RE: [git-users] git add This file is for the blah class
Mark, Have you looked into the notes subcommand for git? I have not personally used it myself so I'm not certain if it will work for what you want or not but it does sound like it would at least be a start for the type of functionality your looking for. Chris From: git-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:git-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of theProphet Sent: Sunday, August 19, 2012 12:46 PM To: git-users@googlegroups.com Cc: g...@vger.kernel.org Subject: [git-users] git add This file is for the blah class I'm finding it annoying when browsing repositories at github and such that the description on every file and directory is only the last commit message given for that file. I think it would be much more organizationally useful if the git add command accepted a message that will be associated with that file that describes its purpose. A file name just isn't adequate to do the job and there's nowhere else where this is tracked.

Well, I'd like to tie the notes to specific files, so that github and the like can use them in displaying code. I don't think a generic notes will do the job mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

The perfect place is really on the git add command line. I would suggest it at the main dev list, but I recently signed on and have established any status there So will wait... mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.
