Might it be a good idea to have "git-add" do the same as
"git-update-index" on already tracked files? That could be easily
taught as "you must explicitly _add_ files to your next commit" and
whether the file is already tracked or not wouldn't matter. This would
help newbies actually getting used the index without mentioning the
dreaded word "index" at all.
Right now git-add on an already tracked file does nothing, not even a
message to say it did nothing.
