Which is the same:
default (n) (5b) "a selection automatically used by a computer program
in the absence of a choice made by the user" (Merriam-Webster)
No previous "git add" => default "git commit -a". Exactly what I don't
want. It makes the software appear at nondeterministic as you add to
the "if"s and "but"s, and it breaks established practice.
It is not desirable to break established workflows for the sake of
newcomers' convenience.
