I'm still unable to reproduce this. Do you have an example that demonstrates the problem on a clean system?

Currently there's [`chezmoi re-add`](https://www.chezmoi.io/reference/commands/re-add/) which re-adds *all* modified files where it is possible to do so, but that's not what you're suggesting. > I believe adding "accept"/"all-accept" (or any other...

Random drive-by thoughts: * go-git supports [in memory storage](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-git/go-git/[email protected]/storage/memory) so it should be possible to do this without touching disk. * Rather than creating an archive to be untar'd, the...
