0.7

• FEA: Added support for deleting symlinks (087acf7).
• DEL: Dropped official support for Python 3.5 and 3.6 as they are EOL.

0.6

• FEA: Added support for staging ignored files (#9). To show ignored files, you need to run git edit-index with the --ignored parameter.
• DEL: Dropped official support for Python 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 as they are EOL.

0.5.2

• FIX: Fixed TypeError: fdopen() takes no keyword arguments when running the command via Python 2.7 (#3).

0.5.1

• FIX: Fixed the opening of the editor on Windows. Due to file locking on Windows, we need to write the index and close the temporary file before we open the editor. Otherwise, the editor is not able to read or change the file.

0.4

• FEA: Changing file status from M or D to P runs git add --patch FILE.
• FEA: Changing file status from D to P runs git reset --patch FILE.
• FEA: Added the script to PyPI so it can be installed via pip install git-edit-index.
• FIX: Fixed unit tests under Python 2 and PyPy.

0.3.2

• FIX: Fixed displaying of the index in editors that have problems when the
  overall text does not end with a newline.

0.3.1

• FIX: Fixed removal of files or directories when not being inside the
  repository's root path. Previously, this failed with an exception.
• FIX: When an untracked directory is to be removed, use shutil.rmtree()
  instead of os.remove() because os.remove() does not work on directories.

0.3

• FEA: Allow staging, unstaging, and reverting changes of deleted files.
• FEA: Allow removing an untracked file by removing the corresponding line in
  the editor.
• FEA: Allow setting the editor also by setting the GIT_EDITOR or VISUAL
  environment variables.
• FEA: When the index is empty, do not show an empty editor.

0.2

• FEA: Allow reverting changes done to a file since the last commit by removing
  the line with the file from the editor.
• FIX: Use -- before files when running Git commands to prevent confusion
  when a file looks like a branch or tag.
• FIX: Added a missing description of the ? status into README.
• FIX: Fall back to $EDITOR if Git's core.editor is not set.
