Stage all mapping

[tiagoboldt]

Short description of the problem

In Stage mode, we have to individually pick the files/chunks to be staged. It is not possible to stage all changes files at once.

Suggestion for improvement: new mapping to stage all changes in all files. An alternative, if I visual select the whole Stage buffer and use the stage mapping, that all files are staged at once.

That's a good idea. The main obstacle for that new feature is the mapping.

The natural mapping should be SA, for Stage All. But it would break the main mapping S, adding a pause after the lone S keypress.

Then, main mapping Stage could be SS, allowing a lot of Ssomething declination mappings. But I am quite hesitant to break the main mapping.

Fill free to add any remarks about that.

The localleader could be used for vimagit buffer-specific mappings. localleader S-A could stage all, leaving the simple S with the behavior it has today. localleader could be used in the future to prepend additional complex mappings.

Any ETA for this? I see it's being worked on on a fork.
