That said, I don't encourrage partial commits. The primary goal of checking the diff/status before committing is to avoid committing mistakes, not to mark files. The problem with partial commits is that you commit something to the revision control system that never actually existed on disk. Typically, in C, you can select some .c files using a newly defined function, and forget to add the corresponding .h file, then, you commit uncompilable code (and good luck if you want to bisect to find the origin of a bug later). So, partial commit are sometimes powerfull, but they're also somehow dangerous ... -- Matthieu _______________________________________________ Dvc-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/dvc-dev
