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" =3D> default "git commit -a".

It is not desirable to break established workflows for the sake of newcomers' convenience. --------------enigF31AC27AE5088913887ABD3D Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkvSHK4ACgkQvmGDOQUufZWZSgCgzaQAMO3S5ZwsK0ejuU0ejXwJ S6YAoOUEu17bi4OknWLtcKtAZ/MxpuOI =tOBS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigF31AC27AE5088913887ABD3D--
