Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 9132730229 Act on a whole file's changes as acting on the file
The diff of a deleted file is its content going away, so putting every
line of it into the index leaves an empty file there (modified in the
index, deleted in the working tree) rather than the deletion the user
selected. The reverse case matches: the diff of an added file is its
whole content, and taking all of it back out of the index leaves the file
tracked and empty rather than untracked again. In the staging view you
had to enter such a file deliberately to reach these cases, but stepping
through a directory's diff hunk by hunk runs into them routinely.

Selecting every change of a file says "this file", so stage or unstage
the file itself. This applies to any file, since applying a file's whole
diff amounts to the same thing everywhere else.
