A submission to your garden of folks' git confusions…
One that gets me _so_ regularly (probably more than every week) is how the stage lets me be selective about which file **modifications** are added to a commit. But it doesn't (I think?!) let me be selective about which file **renames / moves** are added to a commit? They're always in, as far as I can tell?
My work patterns often includes me making various changes and then adding a few at a time with a meaningful name.
I always forget, and it's quite disconcerting, that file renames / moves don't seem to be compatible with this workflow.
