Exactly > If that is the case, that is understandable to me. Is the "-u" (I > think "git add -u" is short for "--update" but I didn't check) taken > as a valid option to "git rebase"? If not, that $something_here could > be "-u". At the moment $something_else is -a/--autostage but -u/--update (I've checked the add man page and you're right) could be good as well. rebase --continue -a behaves like commit -a in that it commits all updated tracked files and does not take pathspecs, if we go for -u then there is a difference with 'git add -u' as that can take an optional pathspec. Did you have any further thoughts on what checks if any this new option should make to avoid staging obviously unresolved files? > Thanks for pinging the thread; otherwise I would have forgotten, > especially because not many other people were involved in the > discussion to begin with. Yes it would be interesting to hear if this would be useful for others too. Best Wishes Phillip
