Remember:  "just add an alias!" is an acceptable answer only if the
desired feature is odd/unusual.  For desired features that are likely
to be generally useful, git should do the right thing, out of the box,
for everybody.

Which case this particular request falls into, is a matter of
judgement, but such a feature looks "generally useful" to me.

The annoying thing, of course, is that commit and add already have
inconsistent long options for this type of functionality (commit --all
vs add --all). [I'd consider that a bug, regardless of whether commit
gets -A type functionality, but I suppose it's too late to fix...]
