Comment on Gitless: an experimental version control system built on top of Git

Comments

It looks like there's no concept of a stage, which would imply that commits can only be made at a file level. This nerfs the single greatest feature of git: git add -p

git add -p could just be replaced with git commit -p without adding a stage. Although it doesn't seem like this is what Gitless does at the moment.

I would think that this is exactly what's expected in an experiment like this.
