I'm trying, and failing, to create a patch that adds new files to a module.

According to http://drupal.org/node/707484, I should simply run `git add ...` then "Next time you run git diff, these new files will be included as well." In my experience, this statement is false.

When I run `git status`, I see something like this:

[dave@starbuck fb-3]$ git status
# On branch 6.x-3.x
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
# new file: fb.process.inc
# new file: fb_tab.js
#
# Changes not staged for commit:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
# modified: README.txt
# modified: contrib/fb_example.module
# modified: fb.module
# modified: fb_canvas.admin.inc
# modified: fb_canvas.module
# modified: fb_devel.module
# modified: fb_settings.inc
# modified: fb_tab.admin.inc
# modified: fb_tab.info
# modified: fb_tab.module
# modified: fb_url_rewrite.inc

When I run `git diff`, I see changes to all the modified files, but I do not see the new files.

What am I missing? Thanks,
