Thank you for the information.  I am sure I will use it.

On Windows, I use git gui routinely for making commits.  It lists files 
with workspace changes in Unstaged and Staged boxes.  ^T (sTage) and ^U 
(Unstage) moves a hightlighted file to the other one.  A third box shows 
the diff for a highlighted file.  One can also revise the 'last' commit 
(never done this yet).  A fourth box is for entering and editing commit 
messages.
