Not exactly, it's different from Arnel's idea.

Currently in the commit dialog, there is 2 categories in the Repository 
Status list box: "Changes to be committed" and "Changed but not 
updated". I would like to have a third category "New files to be added" 
containing all project source files not already on git.If these files 
are checked, the git plugin will add them in the index and commit them.


So nothing is done automatically, the user still select every added file.

It's working all the time not only for new project. It will be more 
difficult to forget to commit new files on git (it happens again last 
week to me) because you will see them in this list.

There is no need to have the check box "add to repository" in the new 
file and new class dialog because you will get it in the Repository 
Status list box.

I need to add project files (configure.ac and Makefile.am) in the 
project source files, so it will allow to commit them even if the user 
doesn't really know them (they are created by Anjuta).

It doesn't matter if you compile the project before because the project 
plugin know all source files.

I think it will mostly solve Arnel's issue, because in your first commit 
after creating the project, all files created by the project wizard 
should appear in this new category. You can click on "Select All" and 
you get the right result.


Contrary to Arnel's idea, my idea doesn't solve the issue of creating 
the git repository (run "git init"). I don't know if it's possible to do 
it currently with the graphical interface. Perhaps we can do it 
automatically if the user uses the commit dialog on a project which is 
not a git repository.
