It obviously is not the time to do this as I have already said
that I won't look at anything but fixes and documentation
updates until 1.5.3, but I am not opposed to have "git add -a $paths"
which would do something like "git add $paths && git add -u $paths".
We also might want to add "git add --refresh $paths" while at
it, which were brought up recently in a separate thread.
