Originally, "git add -N" was introduced to help users from forgetting to add new files to the index before they ran "git commit -a". As an attempt to help them further so that they do not forget to say "-a", "git commit" to commit the index as-is was taught to error out, reminding the user that they may have forgotten to add the final contents of the paths before running the command. This turned out to be a false "safety" that is useless. If the user made changes to already tracked paths and paths added with "git add -N", and then ran "git add" to register the final contents of the paths added with "git add -N", "git commit" will happily create a commit out of the index, without including the local changes made to the already tracked paths. It was not a useful "safety" measure to prevent "forgetful" mistakes from happening. It turns out that this behaviour is not just a useless false "safety", but actively hurts use cases of "git add -N" that were discovered later and have become popular, namely, to tell Git to be aware of these paths added by "git add -N", so that commands like "git status" and "git diff" would include them in their output, even though the user is not interested in including them in the next commit they are going to make. Fix this ancient UI mistake, and instead make a commit from the index ignoring the paths added by "git add -N" without adding real contents. Based on the work by Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy, and helped by injection of sanity from Jonathan Nieder and others on the Git mailing list. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
