Description

I write this code to simulate "git add ." :

        var r = new Repository("mydir");

        var status = r.RetrieveStatus();

        if (status.IsDirty)
        {
            foreach (var f in status.Untracked.Select(mods => mods.FilePath).ToList())
            {
                r.Index.Add(f);
            }

            foreach (var f in status.Modified.Select(mods => mods.FilePath).ToList())
            {
                r.Index.Add(f);
            }

            r.Index.Write();
        }

Is there a single instruction to do that? (something like : r.Add("."))
