Hi,

My largest issue with deprecating the commit dialog is the loss of simplicity when committing files which have not been staged before. With the dialog, every selected file was committed. Now with the Staging View I have to go another mile and drag and drop files.

I was wondering if the Commit action could auto-stage selected files.

I think that would be ok if this behaviour is configurable.

I stopped using the commit dialog a long time back. I tend to first look

at the diff of each file I touched before staging it. Also I find it easier to select

dirty/new/deleted files in the staging view since it doesn't show unmodified files.
