Re: git wants to commit more files than expected ?

Hi,

I always forgot to use `git commit --amend` when commit needed some
correction/change. I usually do a `git reset --hard ^HEAD` and then commit
from scratch :)

Next commit I do I will use amend and see if I got similar problem like
yours.

Cheers,
