Junio C Hamano 394258190c git-add --intent-to-add (-N)
This adds "--intent-to-add" option to "git add".  This is to let the
system know that you will tell it the final contents to be staged later,
iow, just be aware of the presense of the path with the type of the blob
for now.  It is implemented by staging an empty blob as the content.

With this sequence:

    $ git reset --hard
    $ edit newfile
    $ git add -N newfile
    $ edit newfile oldfile
    $ git diff

the diff will show all changes relative to the current commit.  Then you
can do:

    $ git commit -a ;# commit everything

or

    $ git commit oldfile ;# only oldfile, newfile not yet added

to pretend you are working with an index-free system like CVS.
