But `git commit -a` would not change, even if it won't add cruft with well curated .gitignore files. That will be a terrible backward incompatible change for those who expect it only deals with the files it knows about (including the one that is not yet tracked but its presence is known via "git add -N").
Just to make it clear - I was only discussing adding a '-A' (capital A) option to git commit. Its current behavior with '-a' (small a) wouldn't change. Jon
