Description Paul Verest

If I add files to index and immediately commit them, I see files with green plus overlay icon. That is nice.

However if I do add to Index twice or mote time, I cannot distinguish files that are added in Index from Commit Changes Dialog.

You're right, that would be nice.

By the way, do you know about the "Git Staging" view (use Ctrl+3 or Cmd+3 to find it)? It's much nicer than the Commit dialog for committing.

Hi Robin

I knew (it was in some newer version announce), but have forgotten. Their functionality is similar.
While Commit Changes Dialog is easier to access, Git Staging View is non modal.

Please add Git Staging View in Team context menu as well.

P.S. there is some inconsistency: 
in Commit Changes Dialog unstaged files (that are called untracked files) are shown below, 
but in Git Staging View "Unstaged" files are shown above.

P.P.S. Also there should be a way to switch between Commit Changes Dialog and Git Staging View. Currently there are 2 ways to commit, but they are not connected  with link.
